Barron LLC

Barron LLC, a small business cultural resource consulting firm based in Gillette, Wyoming, operates as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards) and subcontractor providing Class I, II, and III archaeological surveys, heritage inventories, site evaluations, and National Register of Historic Places eligibility assessments to federal land management agencies under Total Small Business set-asides. The company is a for-profit limited liability company competing predominantly under small-business set-asides across its prime footprint.

Barron's capability portfolio centers on archaeological and cultural resource inventory services for federal land stewardship, grounded in concrete deliverables including field surveys at specified transect intervals, background research and records reviews, site documentation with GIS shapefiles and GPS data, National Register eligibility evaluations, and subsurface testing compliant with the National Historic Preservation Act, Archaeological Resources Protection Act, and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Representative recent work includes a $273,627.60 delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (awarded June 2026) for Section 106 compliance inventory across 36,725 acres of Level I records review and 8,998 acres of intensive Level III inventory in Spearfish, South Dakota; a $354,750 purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas Region (June 2024) for cultural resource inventory of approximately 11,825 acres in the Lower Blackfoot River Corridor; and a $163,038 BLM purchase order (January 2025) for Class III cultural resource inventory of 5,622 acres in Missoula County, Montana. Barron also conducts smaller-scope surveys such as a $27,900 delivery order from the Forest Service for Class III survey work on the Parks Ranger District across three forest units (awarded September 2026).

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region accounts for 14 awards and $13.2 million (88%) of combined potential value across the portfolio, while the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas Region represents 12 awards and $1.7 million. The remaining customer base—BLM Idaho and Wyoming regions, BLM Wyoming region specifically, and the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command—collectively account for 8 awards and $115 thousand. This customer concentration reflects Barron's geographic and mission focus on Rocky Mountain and Northern Great Plains forest and rangeland cultural resource stewardship.

Barron holds two active indefinite-delivery contracts: a $4 million single-award IDIQ with the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (awarded August 2026, ceiling through May 2031) for cultural resource inventories across the Black Hills, Medicine Bow-Routt, and Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands, under which 10 task orders have generated $679 thousand in combined potential value, and a $3.5 million multiple-award IDIQ with the same Forest Service region (awarded September 2025, through June 2030) for heritage surveys on the Bighorn and Shoshone National Forests. Barron also places orders under a Multiple Award Schedule, though the source does not specify which GSA Schedule. The parent vehicles are firm-fixed-price task-order vehicles; Barron does not sit on government-wide acquisition contracts or manage indirect cost pools under shared infrastructure arrangements typical of larger consulting firms.

Activity grew from three awards in 2022 to nine in 2024, then declined to six in 2025 and four in the first three quarters of 2026, signaling a flatten-to-decline trajectory in recent quarters. Four awards (combined potential value $489 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore require recompete pursuit. Twenty percent of Barron's combined potential value has been obligated to date, leaving $12 million in unobligated ceiling across active vehicles—typical for newly awarded or early-stage IDIQs.

In its subcontractor role, Barron delivers Class II and III cultural resource inventories to Bratslavsky Consulting Engineers, Inc. on five recent sub-awards spanning October 2024 through October 2025, including reconnaissance-level and intensive inventory work on treatment units in Wyoming (Wind River, Sand Knoll, Keyhole Reservoir, Brokenback Fuel projects). Barron's sub engagement is narrowly concentrated with a single prime and does not suggest a diversified teaming strategy. The source does not identify Barron as a sub to other federal contractors or as a recipient of federal grants.
