Mountain Horse LLC

Mountain Horse LLC, doing business as Mountain Horse Solutions, is a Colorado Springs-based, veteran-owned small business that manufactures and procures chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense equipment—including detection systems, personal protective equipment, decontamination gear, radiation monitors, and ammunition metal containers—primarily as a prime contractor (95% of awards) to the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies. The company holds SBA certifications as a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), both expiring April 9, 2026, and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its primary contract footprint.

Mountain Horse's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army chemical and biological defense programs. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 77% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (131 awards, $177.6 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command (116 awards, $100.4 million combined potential value). However, the potential-value rankings diverge sharply: the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center Joint PEO Chemical and Biological Defense commands $8.8 billion in combined potential value across only 28 awards—reflecting the scale of single large-ceiling contract vehicles—while the two highest-count customers deliver $278 million combined. Defense Finance and Accounting Service (47 awards, $44.4 million), the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ammunition (4 awards, $51.6 million), and the Department of the Army proper (17 awards, $10.2 million) round out the active set. Mountain Horse also maintains relationships with the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, and civilian agencies including the National Guard Bureau and special operations commands.

Mountain Horse's primary vehicle is the Army Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO CBRND) Rapid Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, a $500 million multiple-award IDIQ awarded in 2020 with completion through July 31, 2027 (recently extended; ultimate completion now September 2030 in some filings). This vehicle anchors the company's federal footprint: 270 delivery orders valued at $165.8 million have been issued under it since 2020, with individual task orders ranging from $2,500 minimum order guarantees to $8.5 billion JBTDS closeout modifications. Mountain Horse also holds a newly awarded $31.7 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for PA154/PA157/PA191 mortar ammunition metal containers (awarded March 12, 2026, completion March 10, 2031) and an $18.3 million single-award IDC for M548 metal ammunition containers (awarded September 25, 2025, completion September 24, 2030). It maintains positions on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (12 task orders, $6.5 million combined value) and the General Services Administration Indefinite Delivery Contract GS01Q15BKD0002 (87 task orders, $72 million combined value). Recent representative prime work includes a $1.48 million delivery order from PEO Ammunition for PA154/PA157 mortar ammunition metal containers (March 12, 2026), a $313,913 delivery order from Plains Area for handheld mass spectrometers at the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (March 9, 2026), and a $112,588 delivery order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for an MX908 portable spectrometer for narcotics detection (February 2, 2026).

Activity has declined from a peak of 76 awards in 2022 to 39 in 2025 and 5 through early 2026. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $14.7 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting moderate recompete exposure on smaller task orders. The source describes Mountain Horse as having received "over 100 delivery orders" under the JPEO CBRND Rapid COTS vehicle—a legacy of substantial prior volume. Recent subcontract work (5% of awards by count) positions Mountain Horse as a supplier to CACI Inc. Federal, Radiance Technologies, Southwest Research Institute, Atlantic Diving Supply, and ManTech-related primes, supplying unmanned aerial system platforms (Raider UAT, BQ400 Raider, BQ750 UAT, S3 WERKS target drones) and barrier systems for directed energy and special operations programs.

Mountain Horse's NAICS profile is heavily concentrated in Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (361 awards), with secondary presence in Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (18 awards) and research and development services (9 awards). PSC codes reflect that focus: Chemical And Pharmaceutical Products Manufacturing Machinery dominates at 281 awards; Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (21), Hazard-Detecting Instruments (13), and Combination Instruments (13) follow. The company's GSA Schedule carries research analyst, technical SME/general engineer, and program management labor rates spanning $45.92–$144.19 per hour with bachelor's-degree minimums and no cleared positions.

Combined potential value across all 442 awards (prime and sub) stands at $9.74 billion, though obligated dollars total only $252.3 million (3% of potential value), indicating heavy reliance on ceiling-based vehicle positions and forward-loaded multi-year IDIQs rather than near-term cash flow. Mountain Horse competes as a small business across virtually all set-aside-eligible work and has no named subsidiaries separate from its registered corporate entity.
