Doherty Fence, LLC

Doherty Fence, LLC, doing business as Raymond Doherty Fencing, is a sole proprietorship based in Pilot Rock, Oregon that provides rangeland and livestock fence construction, repair, and maintenance services to federal land management agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The company holds 86 prime federal awards (100% prime posture) with no subcontractor footprint, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across forestry and rangeland infrastructure work. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $13.9 million, with $5.6 million obligated to date.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily in the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The USDA Forest Service R6 (Pacific Northwest Region) anchors 79% of award count at 44 awards valued at $10.8 million combined potential value, supplemented by nine awards from the Forest Service Research Service Pacific Northwest Research Station valued at $1.5 million. These two Forest Service entities together represent 96% of combined potential dollars. Secondary customers include the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management across California, Nevada, and Oregon-Washington regions (totaling 7 awards, $828 thousand combined potential value) and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (9 awards, dollar value not specified in source). Activity has declined from five awards in 2022 to one in 2025, with a slight uptick to four awards through September 2026.

Doherty Fence holds two primary vehicle positions. The core relationship is anchored by a $7 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract held with USDA Forest Service R6 since April 11, 2022 (ultimate completion February 10, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside), which has generated 10 task orders valued at $2.2 million combined potential value. Under this IDIQ, the vendor performs livestock allotment fencing, wildlife habitat exclosures, elk barriers, big game fencing, rangeland infrastructure repair, and emergency wildfire-damaged fence restoration across Oregon and Washington. Representative task orders include a $787 thousand delivery order for the Withers J Spear Fenceline Repair (awarded June 26, 2023), a $448 thousand order for approximately 20 miles of new fence construction and 11.5 miles of removal in La Grande, Oregon (awarded May 1, 2024), and a $311 thousand task order for wildfire-damaged allotment fence repair near Lakeview, Oregon (awarded June 9, 2023). A second IDV — a $250 thousand multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract held with the National Interagency Fire Center since April 16, 2025 (Total Small Business set-aside) — provides Geographic Information Systems units and incident support services for fire and hazard response through October 3, 2025. The vendor also works under five additional BPAs and IDIQs managed by USDA Forest Service entities, with task order volumes of six to eight orders per vehicle at the $200–$657 thousand aggregate level.

Recent awards through September 2026 span terrain-intensive fence reconstruction work set outside traditional purchase-order cycles. A $567 thousand task order (awarded September 1, 2026, ultimate completion November 1, 2027) from USDA Forest Service R6 calls for removal of fire-damaged fencing and construction of approximately 32.5 miles of 3-strand and 4-strand range fencing and 4,728 linear feet of aspen exclosure fencing on the Wallowa Whitman National Forest in Baker and Malheur Counties, Oregon. A $117 thousand purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region (awarded September 15, 2026, ultimate completion March 31, 2027) covers reconstruction of approximately 2.59 miles of barbed wire fence along the Klamath River Canyon Rim in Keno, Oregon. A $57 thousand definitive contract from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (awarded August 11, 2026, ultimate completion June 30, 2027) involves removal of old boundary fence wire and construction of wildlife-friendly smooth and barbed wire fencing at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge near Cheney, Washington. These awards carry Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and performance/payment bonds at 100 percent of contract price.

Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $782 thousand and represent near-term recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal SCI-reportable federal service contract activity: $562 thousand invoiced revenue in FY2023 across 2.0 FTEs on a single contract, with zero FY2024 SCI activity. SCI coverage at the $150,000 reporting threshold is a strict subset of the vendor's actual federal fencing work, which includes materials-heavy construction purchases and smaller task orders falling below SCI thresholds. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime across its footprint with no named subcontractor engagements, delivering 100% of work with internal labor and materials procurement.
