Bitterroot Services & Technology, LLC

Bitterroot Services & Technology, LLC, doing business as BST, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Florence, Montana, that supplies scientific instrumentation (primarily Leica microscopy systems), native seeds for ecological restoration, and grounds maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 182 awards spanning fiscal years 2008 through 2026.

BST operates as a single-award prime across its primary contract vehicles and competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside categories, though the vendor's SDVOSB designation appears on roughly one-third of its named awards. The company's capability footprint splits across three distinct domains: advanced laboratory microscopy and imaging systems (surgical and medical instruments; optical instruments; electromedical apparatus) account for 67 awards concentrated within the VA's healthcare networks; native seed procurement for habitat restoration and ecological management account for 19 awards primarily through the USDA Forest Service's $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources Blanket Purchase Agreement and the Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service; and cemetery grounds maintenance services account for 15 awards under the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration's indefinite delivery contracts. Representative prime work includes a $1.17 million Leica Stellaris confocal microscope system awarded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in September 2026 (scheduled completion December 2026); a $194,942 native seed procurement for Hill Air Force Base's Utah Test & Training Range awarded by the Fish and Wildlife Service in March 2026 with April 2026 completion; a $595,850 confocal point scanning microscope for VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 awarded in May 2024; and a $365,020 Leica laser microdissection system for VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 awarded in September 2023.

Customer concentration centers on the Department of Veterans Affairs, which dominates both award count and dollar value. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 27 percent of recent awards: the VA National Cemetery Administration leads with 14 awards ($409 thousand combined potential value), followed by VA Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (11 awards, $1.4 million) and others. When ranked by combined potential value, VA's healthcare networks shift into higher prominence—Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 anchors eight awards at $2 million combined value, and Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 contributes seven awards at $1.6 million. The USDA Forest Service's Northern Region (R1) and Intermountain Region (R4) represent the secondary customer tier, with the Forest Service BPA driving repeat procurement activity.

BST holds position on a single-award $50 million blanket purchase agreement with the USDA Forest Service for land management integrated resources services (covering project management, natural resources consulting, restoration work, and engineering across all agency locations through March 2033) and maintains two indefinite delivery contracts with the VA National Cemetery Administration: a $32,600 single-award contract for grounds maintenance at Fort Missoula Station 952 (August 2025 through July 2026) and an underlying $125,400 vehicle for broader cemetery operation services. Task order activity under these IDCs remains steady, with nine task orders placed against the primary cemetery contract and two against the Fort Missoula station-specific bridge contract.

Activity has moderated in recent fiscal years: seven awards in 2022, declining to six in 2023 and 2024, then four in 2025 and three in 2026 (most recent award dated September 1, 2026). Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.2 million), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure for this vendor's installed base. The combined potential value across all 182 awards totals $72.62 billion, though only $17 million has been obligated to date—a reflection of the large ceiling on the Forest Service BPA and the timing of microscopy procurement orders with extended delivery and acceptance cycles. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontracting footprint in the source data.
