Bent LLC

Bent LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Scio, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor delivering road construction, bridge rehabilitation, and infrastructure repair services to the U.S. Forest Service, exclusively competing under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations across its regional work in the Pacific Northwest and California.

Bent LLC competes entirely as a prime (100% of awards) and does not subcontract. The company specializes in highway, street, and bridge construction under NAICS 237310, with work split across three PSC codes: Construction of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, and Railways (10 awards); Repair or Alteration of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways (5 awards); and Maintenance of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways (3 awards). Representative work includes a $2.2 million firm fixed-price delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 for Henline Creek Bridge and National Forest System Road 2207 MSE Wall rehabilitation, awarded December 20, 2023, under the Road Construction 2020 IDIQ; a $589,114 March 16, 2026 delivery order for Deathball Bridge rehabilitation on ERFO Road 19 at mile post 55.5 under a total small business set-aside; and a $46,210 October 1, 2026 delivery order for Devils Creek Bridge deck repair under total small business set-aside, performing at Detroit, Oregon.

Customer concentration is acute and immobile. The Forest Service dominates the entire award footprint: Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) accounts for 17 awards and $81.2 million in combined potential value; Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) holds 1 award valued at $50 million. The two regions represent 100% of combined potential value. This concentration reflects Bent LLC's regional specialization in Pacific Northwest and California forestland infrastructure rather than federal government diversification.

Bent LLC holds three active IDIQs with the Forest Service. The Road Construction 2020 single-award IDIQ (25 million ceiling, running through April 2028) with Region 6 has generated 5 task orders carrying $3.7 million in combined potential value. A second Region 6 single-award IDIQ, the Western Oregon Road Construction IDIQ (August 26, 2024 award, $25 million ceiling, April 30, 2028 completion), was solicited for up to 20 awards and went single-award to Bent LLC under total small business set-aside; it has generated 3 task orders worth $635 thousand. A third single-award IDIQ, Central and Eastern Oregon Road Construction (May 1, 2023 award, $25 million ceiling, April 30, 2028 completion), also went single-award to Bent LLC under total small business set-aside and has generated 1 task order for $1,000. Bent LLC also holds a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) for California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance services through March 2033, with 3 task orders generating $208 thousand.

Recent activity shows volatility: five awards in 2021, one in 2022, six in 2023, two in 2024, and two in 2026. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $636 thousand, creating near-term recompete exposure.

SCI-reported invoicing across Bent LLC's prime contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $3.3 million over FY2022–FY2024 ($702 thousand in FY2022, $702 thousand in FY2023, $1.9 million in FY2024). The SCI dataset shows roughly 1.0–1.7 FTEs delivered to federal government service contracts in those fiscal years. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates ranged from a median around $380/hr to senior labor pricing at or above $505/hr.
