Goose Creek Cattle Co

Goose Creek Cattle Co, doing business as Will Bedke Trucking, is a small agricultural cooperative based in Oakley, Idaho that provides heavy equipment and livestock management services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and related federal land management agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open and total small business set-aside delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime — 29 awards across its federal footprint carry 100% prime positioning with no subcontractor exposure.

Goose Creek Cattle Co operates as a Subchapter S corporation for-profit entity and has held a SAM.gov registration since 2009. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on wildland fire operations and forest management support, delivering Type 2, 3, and 4 dozers, excavators, tractor plows, operators, and livestock to federal agencies across multiple regions. Representative awards include a $102,331 delivery order from Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) in July 2024 for heavy equipment and livestock services supporting incident management and post-fire rehabilitation, a $56,430 delivery order from the same region in July 2023 for transportation and forestry support in Salmon, Idaho, and a $46,875 delivery order from Region 4 in August 2025 for equipment and livestock services at Jackson, Wyoming.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service ecosystem. Eight awards totaling $1.2 million combined potential value flow through the National Interagency Fire Center's Fire and Aviation Management office, while eleven awards worth $512 thousand are issued from the Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for five awards worth $103 thousand. Together these three customer offices represent 97% of awards by count. The vendor holds two primary indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service: a $500,000 multiple-award IDIQ awarded February 6, 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center for the East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9) on a Total Small Business set-aside, and a $250,000 multiple-award IDC awarded June 1, 2023, also for the East Zone on small business set-aside. Task orders under these two vehicles account for 15 of the vendor's 29 awards.

Activity trajectory shows modest but consistent engagement. The vendor issued two awards in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and three in the first eight months of 2026. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $2.2 million, with $868 thousand obligated (40% drawn). The vendor's work is concentrated under two NAICS categories — 28 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry, and one award under Equipment Rental and Leasing — with the majority of task orders classified under PSC natural resources and fire suppression codes. All recent awards (August 2024 through August 2026) have been firm fixed price with no set-aside designation applied, despite the underlying IDVs carrying total small business set-asides, indicating that once awarded to a vehicle, Goose Creek Cattle Co competes full-and-open on individual task orders.
