3M Livestock, LLC

3M Livestock, LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Bly, Oregon, supplies horses and pack animals (mules and horses) to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor operating under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The company is a limited liability partnership structured as a for-profit organization and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, with a SAM.gov registration dating to 2013 and a narrow capability focus on sourcing and delivering livestock for wilderness operations, trail maintenance, and resource management in national parks and national forests.

3M Livestock operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor footprint, delivering horses and mules to support backcountry operations across multiple federal land management regions. Representative recent work includes a $49,495 Total Small Business purchase order awarded by the National Park Service's Pacific West Region on March 20, 2026, for five Quarter Horse geldings (14–16 hands, 1,000–1,200 pounds, aged 4–8 years) meeting specific standards for high-altitude mountain work at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks; a $95,000 Total Small Business purchase order from the same region dated September 17, 2025, for six mules and four horses to the same parks, with delivery extended via modification to March 1, 2026; and a $99,990 Total Small Business purchase order from the Pacific West Region dated July 27, 2022, for mules and horses at Yosemite National Park. All animals carry veterinary certification requirements and 12-month replacement guarantees.

Customer concentration is split between the National Park Service and the USDA Forest Service across regional offices. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (R2) leads by potential value (8 awards, $1.1 million combined), while the Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region dominates by award count (9 awards, $415 thousand combined potential value). The National Park Service Intermountain Region (7 awards, $149 thousand combined) and the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington (3 awards, $9 thousand) round out the active customer set, accounting for 97% of awards. 3M Livestock operates under two blanket purchase agreements: AG67T0B170003 with three task orders totaling $140 thousand in combined potential value, and 1240LP21A0008 with one task order worth $7 thousand.

Activity is sparse and relatively flat — two awards in 2021 and 2022, two in 2023, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with combined potential value across all 29 awards at $1.7 million and combined obligated dollars at $701 thousand (40% of potential value). The vendor's capability portfolio, categorized under NAICS 112920 (Horses and Other Equine Production) and PSC Live Animals Not Raised For Food, is tightly bounded to procurement of working livestock for federal wilderness operations.
