Bisonte Industrial USA LLC

Bisonte Industrial USA LLC, a Baltimore-based self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a sole proprietorship, supplies industrial equipment and agricultural commodities to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company competes predominantly within set-aside vehicles — 86% of recent awards carry total small business designations — across fourteen customer agencies, with particular concentration in Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Department of Agriculture (USDA) procurement.

The vendor's capability portfolio splits between two distinct product lines. In agricultural commodities, Bisonte supplies grass hay in round bales, large bales, small bales, and cubes, as well as straw, to support USDA Agricultural Research Service animal research programs and Forest Service land management operations; representative USDA hay IDIQs include single-award indefinite delivery contracts for grass hay large bales ($138,960 ceiling, May 2023–April 2024), grass-alfalfa and timothy hay cubes ($124,290 ceiling, April 2023–September 2024), grass hay round bales ($46,975 ceiling, April 2023–September 2024), and grass hay small bales ($82,125 ceiling, May 2023–April 2024). In industrial equipment and components, Bisonte procures centrifugal pumps (the single largest category by award frequency), alternating current motors, compressed cylinders, bearing washers, fluorescent lamps, compressor units, aircraft boarding ladders, permanent loudspeakers, light beacons, electronic connectors, adhesive tape, and vehicle differentials for DLA, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and Army customers; exemplar DLA orders include a $865,158 purchase order for 21 centrifugal pump units (December 2025, total small business set-aside), a $152,620 four-unit centrifugal pump purchase order (December 2024, total small business set-aside), and a $151,992 four-unit centrifugal pump order (May 2025, total small business set-aside). Performance locations span Baltimore and Druid Hill Park, Maryland as primary bases, with subordinate performance at numerous domestic DLA depots, USDA research facilities in Ames, Iowa, forest service locations in Montana, and other CONUS and OCONUS destinations as required by individual orders.

Customer concentration sits heavily with DLA Land and Maritime (23 awards, $2.6 million combined potential value, representing 63% of total portfolio value) and USDA Agricultural Research Service Midwest Area (23 awards, $612 thousand combined potential value, representing 15% of portfolio value). These two customers dominate both award count (86% coverage) and dollar concentration (93% coverage). DLA Land and Maritime anchors Bisonte's industrial equipment work, particularly centrifugal pumps for naval vessels and distribution operations, while the USDA Midwest Area represents recurring hay procurement through multiple active IDIQs. Secondary customers include DLA Aviation (8 awards, $198 thousand), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (3 awards, $204 thousand), Department of Agriculture Forest Service (2 awards, $111 thousand), and smaller engagements with Navy, Army, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Bureau of Reclamation, and Department of Homeland Security.

Bisonte holds five parent USDA Agricultural Research Service indefinite delivery contracts as the prime: the grass hay large bales IDIQ ($138,960 ceiling), grass-alfalfa and timothy hay cubes IDIQ ($124,290 ceiling), grass hay round bales IDIQ ($46,975 ceiling), and grass hay small bales IDIQ ($82,125 ceiling) all running through April or September 2024, plus additional hay IDIQs supporting delivery orders. At DLA, Bisonte holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts awarded in 2026: a permanent loudspeakers IDC ($350,000 ceiling, April 2026–April 2027, total small business set-aside, estimated 10 orders per year with 73-day delivery) and an electronic connector covers and guards IDC ($350,000 ceiling, May 2026–May 2027, total small business set-aside, estimated five delivery orders per year with 95-day delivery).

Activity has grown steadily, from three awards in 2022 to nineteen in 2025, with fifteen awards recorded in 2026 to date. Combined potential value across all 69 prime awards totals $4.1 million, with $2.9 million obligated (73% of potential value). Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in the DLA Land and Maritime and USDA Midwest Area customer set. Bisonte operates entirely as a prime contractor — the portfolio contains no subcontract work — and competes across 100% prime positioning with no apparent sub-award footprint in federal work.
