Fred Snook

Fred Snook, a sole proprietor operating from Salmon, Idaho, supplies and delivers pack mules to the Department of the Interior National Park Service as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders, with no set-aside designations and no subcontract footprint.

Snook operates as a sole proprietorship classified as an Other Not For Profit Organization. The vendor's entire federal footprint centers on a single customer: the NPS Pacific West Region, which has awarded all seven of Snook's federal prime contracts over the past decade. Work falls under PSC Live Animals, Not Raised For Food, with primary NAICS classification in Horses and Other Equine Production.

Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region represents 100% of award count and 100% of combined potential value at $202 thousand across seven awards. The three named purchase orders in the source illustrate Snook's recurring scope: a $37,500 Salmon Select Mule Sale awarded April 8, 2022, with ultimate completion April 29, 2022; a $43,500 Salmon Select Horse/Mule Sale awarded April 9, 2024, with ultimate completion May 1, 2024, procured to supply mules meeting specific height, weight, health, training, and temperament requirements for pack support carrying loads over 140 pounds across over 30 miles of daily trail maintenance and backcountry operations in Olympic National Park; and a $36,000 mule supply and delivery order awarded March 26, 2026, with ultimate completion May 1, 2026. All awards are firm fixed price with no set-aside designation. Award activity is sparse and episodic — one award per year or less — with total federal contract revenue of $202 thousand and 100% of potential value obligated. Snook has not held a parent IDIQ, GWAC, BPA, or agency schedule seat and operates exclusively on small purchase orders.
