About the company
BNSF Railway Company, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, provides railroad crossing maintenance, signal maintenance, facility leasing, and engineering services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive contracts without set-aside designation. The company operates across 18 distinct federal customer agencies with a portfolio of 57 awards spanning four decades, the vast majority as prime (96% of awards).
BNSF's concrete capability footprint centers on railroad infrastructure maintenance and support. Representative work includes a $367,572.86 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ENDIST St. Paul district) awarded January 21, 2026 for rail crossing signals maintenance at Lock and Dam 4, Lock and Dam 8, and Lock and Dam 9 in Alma, Wisconsin, extending through September 26, 2026. The company also performs annual railroad crossing maintenance contracts with the Army Corps of Engineers Southeast Region valued at $10,600 each for crossings at Lincoln Boulevard and 14th Street in Lewis-McChord, Washington, and provides engineering services to the Federal Highway Administration for railroad crossing projects, including a $19,241.00 purchase order for preliminary engineering and cost estimates on the FLAP SHLBY LACRS crossing project in Wisconsin. Facility leasing work includes a $22,668.30 purchase order from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 for base-plus-four-option-year leasing at the Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery in Bingen, Washington, extending through September 30, 2028.
Customer concentration is diffuse across 18 federal agencies. The top five account for 65% of award count: Tennessee Valley Authority leads with 12 awards, followed by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (8 awards, $272 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region (7 awards, $496 thousand), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (6 awards, $220 thousand), and the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (4 awards, $544 thousand). The potential-value ranking diverges slightly from count — FHWA and Federal Railroad Administration anchor most of the dollars despite lower award counts, while TVA dominates volume. Recent activity shows sporadic award placement with 5 awards in 2025 and 1 in 2026 after gaps in 2021 and 2023. Four awards carrying combined potential value of $408 thousand complete within the next twenty-four months, exposing modest recompete opportunity. BNSF's sub-award footprint is minimal: two grant sub-awards to the Colorado Department of Transportation for railroad crossing replacement and facility work in 2025. The company's primary NAICS categories reflect its core work: Line-Haul Railroads (12 awards) and Support Activities for Rail Transportation (11 awards), with PSC codes emphasizing railroad equipment maintenance, repair, and facility leasing.
