Rough Riders Corporation

Rough Riders Corporation, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Worland, Wyoming, provides ground transportation and vehicle-with-driver services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and related agencies as a small business prime contractor competing under total small business set-asides on Indefinite Delivery Contracts and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of 82 recent awards) with no subcontract footprint, and competes predominantly under set-aside vehicles—four $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contracts held through the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement system, each designated as a total small business set-aside.

Rough Riders' service portfolio centers on transit and ground passenger transportation, specifically vehicle rentals with drivers, horse packing trips, and pickup and stakeside truck rentals to support forest management, fire suppression, research, and emergency incident response. Representative work includes a $82,774.98 delivery order from Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) in September 2024 for transit services; a $59,173 purchase order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) in October 2024 for Type 1 pickup truck transportation; and a $39,482 delivery order from Region 4 in October 2024 for ground passenger transportation. Most recent awards are small in magnitude—the June 2026 delivery order from Region 4 carried $15,093, and May 2026 work in Jerome, Idaho valued $12,770—typical of the vehicle-on-demand contract structure under VIPR. The company also holds a $19,400 total small business set-aside purchase order from Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station for Wyoming horse packing trips (June 2023).

Customer concentration is highly concentrated within the Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 93% of recent awards, dominated by Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) with 32 awards and $668 thousand combined potential value, followed by Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) with 19 awards and $251 thousand, and the Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station with 11 awards and $249 thousand. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar ranking with 8 awards but $1.3 million combined potential value—the four $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contracts that feed delivery orders into field operations. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represents marginal secondary exposure with 6 awards and $110 thousand.

Rough Riders places task orders across four primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts: the Region 4 Vehicle-with-Driver IDC (26 task orders, $605 thousand combined potential value), the Region 3 Vehicle-with-Driver IDC (24 task orders, $222 thousand), and smaller vehicles through Blanket Purchase Agreements and a recently awarded Region 4 IDC (1 task order, $28 thousand). All IDC work is structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders under the VIPR system, enabling rapid procurement for incident and field operations with order values historically ranging from $4,500 to $82,775 per GovTribe summaries.

Activity has been moderate and variable. The vendor recorded 22 awards in 2022, declined to 8 in 2023, recovered to 14 in 2024 and 15 in 2025, with 4 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 82 awards stands at $2.9 million, with $1.5 million obligated (51% execution rate). No recompete cliff is evident in the source data; the four IDVs carry expiration dates through May 2028 and April 2029, providing runway for continued task-order activity.

The vendor's NAICS footprint reflects transportation specialization: 66 awards under All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation (NAICS 485999), 13 under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 561730), and 3 under Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing (NAICS 532120). PSC codes mirror the Forest Service focus: 72 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC Z152), 6 under Fire Fighting Equipment (PSC D301), and 3 under Lease or Rental of Equipment–Miscellaneous (PSC Z313). Rough Riders has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2016 and holds no observed parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs outside the National Interagency Fire Center relationships. The vendor's addressable market is narrowly scoped to western U.S. Forest Service regions (Intermountain, Southwestern, Rocky Mountain, Northern) and supports a regional operational footprint across Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico.
