Noland Tough Fence, LLC

Noland Tough Fence, LLC, doing business as Noland Tough, is an economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business (EDWOSB) based in Dewey, Arizona, that provides fencing installation, repair, and replacement services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor on 100% of recent awards, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations.

The company's concrete capability portfolio centers on barbed wire fence demolition and installation, wooden post-and-rail fence replacement, pipe rail fencing, stock tank cleaning and maintenance, and rangeland water system infrastructure work across national forests and public lands in the Southwestern United States. Representative recent work includes a $734,148 total small business set-aside definitive contract with USDA Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) for removal and replacement of approximately 53,609 linear feet of barbed wire and wooden fencing at multiple sites on the Manti La Sal National Forest near Moab, Utah, completed in April 2026; a $1.11 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management for San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area boundary fence reconstruction of approximately 4.86 miles in Cochise County, Arizona, completed in December 2025; and a $175,000 full-and-open purchase order with USDA Forest Service Region 3 for disaster relief repair of the Windmill West Allotment boundary fence impacted by the Rafael Fire, completed in September 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) accounts for 99% of awards by count and 89% of combined potential value across the vendor's footprint, with 117 awards totaling $19.8 million. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office, Region, and Arizona Region collectively represent the remaining 4 awards and $1.31 million in potential value. The vendor holds five named indefinite delivery contracts with USDA Forest Service Region 3, with the largest being Indefinite Delivery Contract AG8197C130007 (37 task orders, $1.8 million), 12837119D0006 (14 task orders, $2.3 million), and 12817318D0004 (13 task orders, $708 thousand), supporting fence construction, rangeland water systems, and related infrastructure work. Activity has declined materially: six awards in 2022, six in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months remain in the pipeline, totaling $909 thousand in combined potential value, exposing the vendor to significant recompete risk across its aging IDIQ portfolio. Work is performed across multiple locations in Arizona and New Mexico within national forests and Bureau of Land Management lands, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates applying to most contracts.
