Butt Hut, Inc.

Butt Hut, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Redding, California, supplies portable sanitation, temporary infrastructure equipment, and rental gear to the U.S. Forest Service and other federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The vendor operates as a for-profit corporation and competes predominantly on Total Small Business set-asides on smaller delivery orders and without set-aside designation on larger task orders drawn from two foundational indefinite delivery vehicles.

Butt Hut's customer concentration is singular: 97% of awards fund Department of Agriculture Forest Service programs, split between the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), which issues the bulk of deployment orders, and the National Interagency Fire Center, which anchors the largest dollar ceiling. The top customer by award count is the Pacific Southwest Region with 122 awards valued at $6.3 million combined potential value; by potential value, the National Interagency Fire Center dominates with six awards totaling $15.3 million. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on incident response logistics—portable toilets, wheelchair-accessible portable toilets, hand washing stations, generators, temporary lighting, tents, and related rental equipment—deployed nationwide to support wildfire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed fire operations. Representative work includes a $1.27 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the Pacific Southwest Region in August 2022 for handwashing stations and portable toilets supporting the 2022 SRF Lightning Complex recovery in Eureka, California; a $475 thousand purchase order from Region 5 in September 2021 covering portable toilets and handwashing stations for the Dixie Fire response; and a $269 thousand purchase order from the National Interagency Fire Center in September 2021 for handwashing stations supporting the McFarland incident.

The vendor holds two named parent vehicles, both extending through June 30, 2027. The larger is a $7.5 million Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on May 1, 2025, as a total small business set-aside, covering portable toilets, wheelchair-accessible portable toilets, and handwashing stations for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support across the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service nationwide, with administrative oversight at Missoula, Montana. The second is a $7.5 million Basic Ordering Agreement awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on June 1, 2024 (no set-aside), providing similar equipment to Department of the Interior agencies. From May 27, 2025 through June 8, 2026, the Pacific Southwest Region issued approximately 60 delivery orders against these vehicles, ranging from $162 to $426 thousand, with completion dates typically within 30 to 120 days of award, reflecting rapid incident-response cycles.

Activity has grown sharply year over year—one award in 2022 to 44 in 2025—with 10 awards in the first half of 2026. The combined potential value across all 173 prime awards is $23.7 million, with $7.2 million obligated to date (30% of potential value). The top parent vehicles by task order count are Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202RZ25T0044 with 53 orders ($1.6 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract 129J6118T7052 with 32 orders ($687 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG9J61B157049 with 26 orders ($984 thousand). Butt Hut operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor's award portfolio is dominated by two NAICS categories: 541710 (Septic Tank and Related Services) with 147 awards and 541899 (Support Activities for Forestry) with 20 awards, reflecting the core business of portable sanitation and incident-response logistics rental equipment.
