Battle Ridge Builders, LLC

Battle Ridge Builders, LLC, a Belgrade, Montana-based limited liability company, provides road and bridge construction, reconstruction, and facility improvement services to federal land management agencies as a 100% prime contractor, competing predominantly in Total Small Business set-asides across the U.S. Forest Service and Federal Highway Administration.

Battle Ridge Builders operates from a concentrated geographic and customer footprint anchored by two large Forest Service regional MATOCs. The vendor holds a $50 million, five-year multiple-award task order contract with the U.S. Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) for road and bridge construction services across Montana, Wyoming, and other northern tier states, awarded December 16, 2024, with a December 15, 2029 completion date. A second $50 million, five-year MATOC with Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) covers Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, and Wyoming, awarded July 14, 2025, with a July 13, 2030 completion date. Both are Total Small Business set-asides. Under the Region 1 MATOC alone, Battle Ridge Builders has issued three delivery orders: a $1.54 million firm fixed-price order for GAOA Markley Bridge replacement on the Custer Gallatin National Forest (ultimate completion October 31, 2026), a $2.98 million order for permanent repairs to East Rosebud Road under the Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads program (ultimate completion October 15, 2026), and a $326 thousand order for Mill Falls Campground improvements on the Helena Lewis & Clark National Forest in Choteau, Montana (ultimate completion September 30, 2027). A representative sample of definitive contracts outside the MATOCs includes a $3.68 million Federal Highway Administration project for Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge repairs in Montana with culvert replacement, roadway improvements, concrete ford construction, and bridge construction (awarded January 31, 2023, closed October 20, 2023), in which Battle Ridge Builders subcontracted helical pile installation to Matelich Crane Pier & Piling Inc. and site development services to Bishop, Inc.; a $2.79 million Forest Service Region 2 contract for Crazy Woman Road infrastructure improvements in Wyoming including bridge replacement and road rehabilitation (awarded January 1, 2025, ultimate completion July 1, 2026); and a $1.05 million Federal Highway Administration contract for North Fork Crazy Woman Creek Bridge replacement in Buffalo, Wyoming with micropile work subcontracted to Condon-Johnson & Associates, Inc. (awarded November 4, 2024, ultimate completion September 26, 2025).

Customer concentration centers on two Forest Service regions. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 anchors the footprint with 10 awards valued at $55.9 million combined potential value, followed by Forest Service Region 2 with 3 awards valued at $53.1 million. The Federal Highway Administration represents the third customer with 4 awards valued at $5.9 million. These three agencies account for 78% of awards and 98% of combined potential value. The vendor has also worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (two awards), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (two awards), the Indian Health Service (one award), and Forest Service Region 4 (one award).

Activity has accelerated modestly over the past three years — one award each in 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, and five in 2025 — though the two regional MATOC awards dwarf transaction volume. The vendor faces a modest recompete cliff: three awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry $4.8 million combined potential value, all delivery orders under the Region 1 MATOC. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with no sub-award footprint in the source data. However, across SCI-reportable service contracts, the vendor reports an average sub-hours share of 51% on its prime contracts, indicating that delivery teams rely on subcontractors for roughly half of reported hours on federally reportable service work — a posture consistent with the definitive-contract subcontracting patterns visible in the award summaries. The vendor reported $6.7 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across two fiscal years (FY2023–FY2024), with $3 million in FY2023 and $3.7 million in FY2024, at a median government-paid rate of $617.67 per hour. SCI data reflects only service contracts above $150,000 and excludes goods and products; the vendor's construction-focused business model means SCI captures a small slice of total federal revenue. Battle Ridge Builders' capability profile concentrates on heavy and civil engineering construction — NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) dominates with 20 awards — across PSC R499 (Highway and Street Construction) and related codes, with project scale ranging from $326 thousand to $3.68 million on individual delivery orders and definitive contracts.
