Belasco Eric

Belasco Eric, a sole proprietorship based in Bozeman, Montana, provides actuarial and underwriting expert review services to the Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under labor-hour BPA calls, operating entirely in the full-and-open federal market with no set-aside designations. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on USDA crop insurance programs, with 100% of recent awards routed through the Risk Management Agency and subordinate Farm Service Agency regional offices.

Belasco Eric's work centers narrowly on expert review of federal crop insurance policies, plans, and modifications in support of Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board decision-making under the Federal Crop Insurance Act. The vendor holds a five-year, single-award $250,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with RMA (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2028) for actuarial and underwriting expert review on a labor-hours basis. Recent task orders under this BPA include a $26,000.49 call issued September 4, 2026, for confidential expert review to be completed by November 4, 2026; a $20,800.49 order from June 5, 2026, for expert review of 508 H date fruit for FCIC Board presentation; and a $20,598.49 call from June 4, 2025, covering detailed reviews of the Margin Coverage Option, PRH peppers, livestock risk protection programs, and dry bean modifications. The vendor has also executed smaller BPA calls for expert review of livestock risk protection modifications, dry bean modifications, and concept proposals, priced at $4,600 for 20-hour reviews.

The Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency accounts for 100% of the vendor's recent prime footprint by both award count (17 awards) and potential value ($1.1 million combined). Two subordinate awards from the Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office ($28 thousand combined) and the Farm Service Agency Washington State Office ($18 thousand) represent marginal activity outside the core RMA relationship. All work sits under labor-hour BPAs, with the primary vehicle (BPA 12645S18A0005) supporting eight task orders valued at $69 thousand combined, and two smaller BPAs (12FPC123A0013 and AG645SB150001) generating six and three task orders respectively. Activity has been intermittent — two awards in 2021, four in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only one award (the September 2026 $26,000.49 call) completing within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates solely as a prime with no subcontracting activity. Work is performed at the contractor's primary location in Bozeman, Montana, with placement of performance for individual crop-specific reviews varying by call, including Stilwell, Kansas for certain reviews. Combined dollars obligated total $225 thousand against $1.1 million in combined potential value, suggesting approximately 20% execution to date across the recent award portfolio.
