Kowboy Kutters LLC

Kowboy Kutters LLC, through its Kowboy Kutters division, provides consolidated facility maintenance, land management, and forestry services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a Total Small Business set-aside prime contractor, with all seven recent federal awards held under small-business designation and performing at multiple Corps district locations across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

Kowboy Kutters is a for-profit limited liability partnership headquartered in Chanute, Kansas, competing exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on grounds and facility upkeep: mowing, janitorial services, park cleaning, herbicide application, vault pumping, and forestry management including tree planting (bareroot and balled-and-burlap), invasive species control, glade restoration, permanent fire-line establishment, and hand-line installation for habitat improvement and wildfire suppression support. Representative work includes a $1.46 million firm fixed-price purchase order awarded March 1, 2026, by the Army Corps of Engineers' Tulsa District for mowing, janitorial, park cleaning, and herbicide application at Oologah Lake, Oklahoma through February 2031; a $1.51 million parallel award the same date for the same services at Skiatook and Birch Lake in Oklahoma; a $1.12 million purchase order from April 2022 for consolidated maintenance at Big Hill Lake, Kansas; and a $3.24 million single-award IDIQ awarded September 10, 2025, to the Army Corps of Engineers for forestry management services at the Mountain Home Project Office in Arkansas, with a base year through May 2026 and four optional 12-month renewal periods.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded: 100% of awards fund Army Corps of Engineers programs, split between the Tulsa District (4 awards, $4.7 million combined potential value), the Army Corps broadly defined (2 awards, $8.2 million, which includes the Mountain Home IDIQ and BPA), and the Little Rock District (1 award, $327 thousand). The vendor also holds a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, with a $5 million ceiling established April 30, 2025, through April 29, 2030, for land management services at Clinton, Hillsdale, and Perry Lake projects; one task order has been issued under the Mountain Home IDIQ (September 2025) carrying $327 thousand in potential value. Award activity is intermittent — one award in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2025, and two in 2026 — with two awards (combined potential value $1.7 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $13.2 million, with $2.6 million obligated (20% drawn). The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
