Bush Basher Contracting LLC

Bush Basher Contracting LLC, a small business sole proprietorship based in Buena Vista, Colorado, performs mechanical land management and fence construction services for the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes exclusively in small-business-reserved procurement and has no subcontract footprint; all four recent awards are direct prime contracts.

Bush Basher's federal footprint concentrates entirely within the Department of the Interior across four regional offices. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region anchors the portfolio with a $361,810 mechanical mastication purchase order awarded September 14, 2026, for juniper tree removal across 557 acres (base plus optional scope) in Pennington County, South Dakota, running through April 14, 2027. The BLM Nevada Region awarded a $166,224 firm-fixed-price fence construction purchase order on June 26, 2025, for 3,527 linear feet of modified steel pipe fence at seven exclosure locations near Elko, Nevada, with completion by October 15, 2025. The National Park Service Midwest Region issued a $15,490 definitive contract on May 20, 2025, for fence repair and replacement at Bow Creek for the Missouri National Recreational River in Yankton, South Dakota, completed by September 17, 2025. The BLM California Region awarded an $11,133 purchase order on May 23, 2025, for repair of 6,362 linear feet of barbed wire fence in sage-grouse habitat near Susanville, California. All four awards carry total-small-business set-asides and are classified under NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) or 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry).

Activity is minimal but recent: three awards in 2025, one in 2026, with a combined obligated value of $555 thousand. Two awards reach completion within the next twenty-four months and face potential recompete. The vendor holds no position on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; work flows through direct purchase orders and definitive contracts only. Capability framing centers on mechanical land remediation and western rangeland fence construction for land management agencies, with no broader service portfolio evident from the award record.
