Cargill Fence Co, LLC

Cargill Fence Co, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Oregon, provides livestock fence construction, repair, and reconstruction services to federal land management agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides. The company specializes in range fence restoration, allotment fencing repair, and wildlife habitat fence construction across the Pacific Northwest, with particular expertise in post-wildfire fence reconstruction on national forests and public lands.

Cargill Fence operates within a narrow but stable regional capability footprint centered on concrete fence work: deconstruction and removal of damaged fencing, construction of new four-strand barbed wire livestock range fences, wildlife guzzler fence installation, and clearing of fence-line right-of-way. Recent representative work includes a $955,512 total small business set-aside definitive contract awarded March 23, 2026 by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region for approximately 180 miles of range fence construction and reconstruction in the Malheur National Forest (Burns, Oregon), with completion required by December 31, 2026; a $531,134 delivery order for materials to repair allotment fencing damaged by wildfires near Bly, Oregon, awarded September 10, 2024; and a $522,892 delivery order for deconstruction, removal, and construction of range fences on the Malheur National Forest following the Black Butte Fire, awarded September 14, 2023.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 9 of 18 awards and $9.5 million of the $10.5 million combined potential value — 90% of the vendor's federal footprint. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (Oregon-Washington region) and subsidiary National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service offices account for the remaining 10%, with individual awards ranging from $24 thousand to $382 thousand. A single $93,500 purchase order from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration for snow fence demolition and installation at an air traffic control facility rounds out the customer set.

Cargill Fence holds a $7 million indefinite delivery contract (IDC 1240BH22D0001) with the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region spanning April 2022 through October 2025 (total small business set-aside), under which six task orders have been issued to date for $1.5 million combined potential value. All delivery orders flow from this single IDC vehicle; the company does not hold positions on other federal vehicles or multi-award contracts.

Activity has been episodic: one award in 2021, two in 2022, a spike to four in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026. Only one award (the March 2026 ECRD range fence construction contract valued at $956 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and thus constitutes recompete risk. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards); no subcontract activity appears in the source. Work takes place primarily in Oregon and Washington, with scattered projects in Wyoming and Montana on Bureau of Land Management lands. All work is classified under small-business set-asides or no set-aside designation; the vendor does not compete in full-and-open procurements.
