Noland Tough Fence, LLC

Noland Tough Fence, LLC (doing business as Noland Tough) is an economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business based in Dewey, Arizona, that performs fence installation, repair, and replacement work for federal land management agencies as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business, joint venture economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business, and woman-owned small business operating as a limited liability partnership. Noland Tough competes predominantly under small business set-asides; across 125 prime awards spanning nearly two decades, the overwhelming majority carry total small business set-aside or no-set-aside designations, with set-aside work anchoring the largest and most recent contracts.

Noland Tough's customer base is highly concentrated in the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region), which accounts for 118 awards (99% of the award count) and $19.8 million in combined potential value. The five customer agencies in the portfolio are the Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region, the Bureau of Land Management National Office, the Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region, the Forest Service (national), and the Bureau of Land Management Arizona Region. The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on barbed wire, wooden rail, pipe rail, and lay-down fence construction, repair, and replacement; sediment removal and stock tank maintenance; and rangeland infrastructure work across national forests and conservation areas in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. Representative work includes a $747,448 definitive contract with USDA Forest Service R4 for removal and replacement of approximately 53,609 linear feet of fencing on the Manti La Sal National Forest near Moab, Utah (awarded May 2026, performance through April 2027); a $1.11 million definitive contract with the Bureau of Land Management for boundary fence reconstruction across 4.86 miles at the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area in Cochise County, Arizona (awarded September 2024, completion December 2025); and a $243,409 delivery order with Forest Service R3 for removal and reconstruction of approximately 5.54 miles of fencing supporting Forest Service land management (awarded September 2023, completion August 2024).

Noland Tough places work under five primary USDA Forest Service R3 indefinite delivery contracts: Indefinite Delivery Contract AG8197C130007 (37 task orders, $1.8 million combined potential value), 12837119D0006 (14 task orders, $2.3 million), 12817318D0004 (13 task orders, $708 thousand), 12819719D0001 (6 task orders, $258 thousand), and 1294TZ18D0002 (4 task orders, $579 thousand). These vehicles carry total small business set-aside designations and support fencing, rangeland water systems, and related infrastructure across the Southwestern Region's national forests and grasslands. Award volume has declined materially—six awards each in 2022 and 2023, then two in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026—suggesting a compression in federal forest-infrastructure spending or portfolio shift. Only two awards (combined potential value $772 thousand) face recompete within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete pressure. The vendor's work is classified primarily under NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors, 105 awards) and 113110 (Support Activities for Forestry, 10 awards), and spans PSC codes for construction of non-building facilities, maintenance of unimproved real property, fencing and gates, and repair of non-building facilities.
