Belasco Eric

Belasco Eric, a sole proprietor based in Bozeman, Montana, provides expert actuarial and underwriting review services for federal crop insurance programs as a prime contractor, operating exclusively in the full-and-open competitive space with no set-aside designations. The vendor's entire footprint consists of 19 awards concentrated in USDA crop insurance administration, with no subcontract work and no participation in IDVs or government-wide vehicles.

Belasco Eric's capability portfolio centers on specialized expert review of agricultural insurance products and program modifications in support of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board decision-making process. Representative work includes a $20,800.49 BPA call from USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) issued June 5, 2026, for expert review of 508 H date fruit to be presented to the FCIC Board in August 2026, with work performed in Stilwell, Kansas; a $20,598.49 call on the same five-year RMA BPA issued June 4, 2025, for detailed reviews of Margin Coverage Option, PRH peppers, livestock risk protection programs, and dry bean modifications; and a $12,884.93 FCIC Board expert review call from December 11, 2024. The vendor also holds a single-award, five-year, $250,000 BPA with RMA (awarded October 1, 2023, running through September 30, 2028) for actuarial and underwriting expert review of policies, plans of insurance, and related material as required by the Federal Crop Insurance Act, under which task orders are issued on an as-needed basis.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. USDA's Risk Management Agency accounts for 100% of the vendor's award portfolio, both by count (16 awards) and by potential value ($1 million combined). Two additional USDA Farm Service Agency regional offices (Kansas City Commodity Office and Washington State Office) hold three awards totaling $46 thousand combined potential value. Recent activity is sparse—one award in 2025 and one in 2026 compared to four in 2023—with only one award ($20.8 thousand potential value) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor places work under three USDA BPAs: Blanket Purchase Agreement 12645S18A0005 (8 task orders, $69 thousand combined potential value), Blanket Purchase Agreement 12FPC123A0013 (5 task orders, $84 thousand combined potential value), and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG645SB150001 (3 task orders, $46 thousand combined potential value). All contracts are priced on a labor-hours basis with no set-aside applied, and the combined potential value across all 19 awards totals $1.1 million against $199 thousand obligated to date (19% of potential value).
