Bash Contracting Inc.

Bash Contracting Inc., a small business based in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, provides wildlife-protection and forest-access fencing construction services to the USDA Forest Service and Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under total small business set-asides across all thirty-five recent awards.

Bash's customer base is heavily concentrated with the USDA Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture accounts for 97% of awards and $3.4 million in combined potential value, dominated by the Forest Service Region 9–Eastern Region (29 awards, $3.4 million). Two awards flow through the Forest Service Research Service Northern Research Station ($183 thousand combined), and two Corps of Engineers offices (Engineering District Pittsburgh and Engineering District Baltimore) account for $15 thousand. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on construction of eight-foot and seven-foot woven wire deer exclosure fencing across the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania, with scope that includes hazard tree felling, clearing access corridors, and site stabilization. Representative work includes a $609.1 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded in September 2022 to construct approximately one hundred miles of eight-foot woven wire fence across fourteen sites in Bradford, Warren, Forest, and Elk counties; an $544.4 thousand definitive contract awarded in October 2023 for eight-foot woven wire deer exclosure fence construction; and a $313.5 thousand definitive contract awarded in August 2026 for seven-foot-high deer enclosure fencing installation across the Marienville and Bradford ranger districts. All awards are firm fixed price, Davis-Bacon-compliant, and scoped to the Allegheny National Forest region.

Bash operates as a pure prime contractor—one hundred percent of awards are prime contracts, with no subcontract activity in the source data. SCI reporting captures $609 thousand in invoiced federal service revenue in FY2023 across 1.3 FTEs at a median government-paid rate of $225.64/hour; no SCI-reportable activity appears in FY2022 or FY2024. Activity has been episodic rather than sustained: one award in 2021, three in 2022, two in 2023, and one recent award in 2026. One award with combined potential value of $313 thousand faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore carries recompete exposure. The vendor sits on an Indefinite Delivery Contract (AG24H8C140010) with four task orders carrying $113 thousand in combined potential value. Bash's work spans four Pennsylvania counties (Warren, McKean, Elk, and Forest) and is categorized under NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and support activities for forestry, with PSC coding aligned to natural resources conservation and construction of non-building facilities.
