Peterson Metal Products, LLC

Peterson Metal Products, LLC, doing business as Peterson Welding, manufactures and supplies specialized metal infrastructure products — primarily cattle guards, concrete bases, gates, and corrugated metal pipe — to federal land management agencies as a woman-owned small disadvantaged business competing under total small business set-asides. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership, self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business, and based in Leadore, Idaho.

Peterson Welding operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) on purchase orders, with no sub-award footprint. The vendor competes entirely under total small business set-asides or full-and-open competitive purchase orders. Over the past five years, awards-per-year activity ranges from two to nine, with nine awards in 2024 and five in 2026, reflecting modest but steady volume. Combined potential value across 71 total awards reaches $2.1 million, with 100% obligated, indicating the vendor meets its commitments on these highly specialized, low-dollar-value orders.

Customer concentration centers on land management agencies across Interior and USDA. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) accounts for the largest share, with 26 awards and $1 million combined potential value distributed across Utah Region (8 awards, $547 thousand), Idaho Region (8 awards, $257 thousand), Nevada Region (6 awards, $254 thousand), and Montana-Dakotas Region (10 awards, $201 thousand). The Department of Agriculture Forest Service supplies 12 awards with $447 thousand in combined potential value, concentrated in Rocky Mountain Region (6 awards, $321 thousand) and Intermountain Region (6 awards, $126 thousand). The National Park Service appears across Intermountain, Midwest, and Northern regions with smaller award counts. These five customer entities and their regions account for 54% of awards and 74% of combined potential value — tight concentration within western public-lands management.

Capability work is dominated by cattle guard fabrication to ASTM A-36 steel, AASHTO HS-20 or equivalent load standards, and federal safety yellow paint specifications, with precast concrete bases meeting 3,000 to 4,000 psi compressive strength. Representative prime awards include a $148 thousand BLM Utah Region purchase order (August 2024) for 14-foot and 8-foot cattle guards to Cedar City and Salt Lake field offices; a $115 thousand BLM Utah Region award (September 2023) for cattle guards to St. George Field Office; and a $69 thousand Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region order (February 2024) for nine cattle guards with concrete bases to GMUG National Forests in Colorado. Secondary product lines include one-arm bandit gates ($27.6 thousand, Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region, April 2024), aluminum troughs ($16 thousand, Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region, June 2023), and corrugated metal pipe ($28 thousand, Forest Service Southwestern Region, May 2024). All awards reflect firm-fixed-price purchase orders with delivery within 45 to 90 days, targeted to field sites and administrative depots across western states.

Primary NAICS concentration is Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing (27 awards) and All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (13 awards). PSC coding clusters around Miscellaneous Construction Materials (15 awards), Miscellaneous Prefabricated Structures (14 awards), and Fencing, Fences, Gates And Components (13 awards). The vendor places task orders under two named BPAs: Blanket Purchase Agreement AG02NVB089830 (1 task order) and BPA INL15PA00194 (1 task order, $31 thousand). Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $190 thousand, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the vendor's annual order flow.
