Bent LLC

Bent LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Scio, Oregon, delivers road construction, bridge rehabilitation, and infrastructure repair services exclusively to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor, competing entirely under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations across the Pacific Northwest and California. The company operates without subcontractors and holds two regional indefinite-delivery contracts with the Forest Service worth a combined $50 million ceiling.

Bent LLC's customer concentration is absolute: 100% of recent awards fund Forest Service programs across two regions. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 19 awards and $85.7 million combined potential value, anchored by two single-award IDIQs. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) holds one award, a $50 million blanket purchase agreement for California forest engineering and road maintenance services awarded on April 4, 2023, running through March 31, 2033. The two regional rankings are identical — the vendor serves only these two Forest Service customer agencies.

Bent LLC holds three primary vehicle positions: a $25 million total small business set-aside Western Oregon Road Construction IDIQ (Region 6, awarded August 26, 2024, through April 30, 2028) with five task orders valued at $5.1 million combined; a $25 million total small business set-aside Central and Eastern Oregon Road Construction IDIQ (Region 6, awarded May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2028) with one task order valued at $1 thousand; a legacy $25 million Road Construction 2020 IDIQ (Region 6) with five completed or near-completion task orders valued at $3.7 million combined; and the $50 million California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance blanket purchase agreement (Region 5, single-award, no set-aside) with three task orders valued at $208 thousand combined. Representative prime work includes a $3.7 million firm fixed-price delivery order for the Blackberry Creek Bridge Replacement project at Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest (October 1, 2026, completion December 1, 2027), a $701,855 order for Idanha Bridge rehabilitation under the Road Construction 2020 IDIQ (May 2, 2022, completion November 19, 2022), and a $589,114 order for Deathball Bridge rehabilitation on ERFO Road 19 in McKenzie Bridge, Oregon (March 16, 2026, completion May 31, 2026). Smaller orders include a $46,210 delivery order for Devils Creek Bridge deck repair (October 1, 2026, completion November 30, 2026) and a $23,850 BPA call for gate fabrication and installation on NFSR 2120 (August 24, 2023, completion December 1, 2023).

Activity shows volatility across the award window: one award in 2022, six in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2026, and one in 2027 year-to-date. Within the next twenty-four months, four awards carrying combined potential value of $4.5 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure. The vendor's award portfolio is highly specialized — all 20 prime awards fall under NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with task orders split across three primary PSC codes: Construction of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, and Railways (11 awards); Repair or Alteration of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways (5 awards); and Maintenance of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways (4 awards).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totals $3.3 million across FY2022–FY2025 ($702 thousand in FY2022, $702 thousand in FY2023, $1.9 million in FY2024, and zero in FY2025), with a reported workforce trajectory of 1.0 FTEs (FY2022), 0.9 FTEs (FY2023), 1.7 FTEs (FY2024), and 0.0 FTEs (FY2025). On SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $380.67 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $506.74 per hour. The vendor delivered zero subcontractor hours across its SCI-reportable prime contracts, consistent with its stated prime-only, non-subcontracting operational posture. Combined potential value across all 20 recent awards is $135.7 million against obligated dollars of $10.2 million (8% of potential value), reflecting the nature of IDIQ and BPA vehicles that reserve capacity without immediate obligation.
