About Rusty Bucket Construction LLC
Rusty Bucket Construction LLC, a Lancaster, California-based, SBA-certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business and HUBZone firm, delivers construction, repair, renovation, and maintenance services to federal civilian agencies and the military exclusively as a prime contractor. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across nearly all recent awards, with a 100% prime footprint spanning 59 awards with $23.5 million in combined potential value.
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on facilities infrastructure work: commercial and institutional building construction dominates by count (20 awards), followed by HVAC, plumbing, and air-conditioning work (9 awards), roofing and specialty trades (9 awards combined), and heavy civil engineering including bridge and utility infrastructure. Representative work includes a $540,000 definitive contract with USDA Forest Service Job Corps for critical wastewater and sewer line rehabilitation at Angell Job Corps Center in Oregon; a $1.026 million roofing replacement at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory under the Great American Outdoors Act; a $577,536 repair and rehabilitation of the Lower District Maintenance Shop at St. Croix National Scenic Riverway for the National Park Service; a $360,000 fencing and concrete foundation replacement at the National Centers for Animal Health in Iowa; and a $361,200 historic building rehabilitation at Erwin National Fish Hatchery in Tennessee. Most recent work (July 2026) includes a $498,310 metal roofing system replacement at Placerville Nursery for USDA Forest Service.
Customer concentration is moderate and geographically distributed. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps dominates by both award count and potential value, accounting for 15 awards and $11.9 million (51% of total potential value across the top five customers). The Air Mobility Command holds the second-largest dollar concentration despite only three awards—a $5 million Basic Ordering Agreement and two smaller delivery orders totaling $126,000—making it a high-value but low-volume customer. USDA Forest Service regional offices (Pacific Southwest, Southwestern, and Rocky Mountain stations) account for six awards and $2.9 million. Department of the Interior (Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service) and other civilian agencies round out the customer set. The vendor has worked with 23 distinct federal agencies in the source data window.
Rusty Bucket holds three indefinite delivery vehicles. Two are USDA Forest Service Job Corps $5 million single-award IDIQs: the Southeast Zone contract (June 2024, expiring May 2029) covers construction and maintenance at Job Corps centers in Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, with 11 task orders and $1.6 million obligated; the Mountain Zone contract (June 2024, expiring June 2029) covers Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Utah. A third is a $5 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement with Air Mobility Command (August 2025, expiring August 2030) for maintenance and facilities services with no set-aside designation. The IDIQs are the primary vehicle for ordering activity, generating delivery orders ranging from $40,000 to $300,000+ for emergency repairs, HVAC replacements, water systems, electrical work, and structural rehabilitation at Job Corps facilities nationwide.
Activity has grown substantially. The vendor completed 13 awards in 2023, 27 in 2024, and 9 in 2025, with 10 awards in 2026 year-to-date (as of mid-July). The combined potential value of $23.5 million reflects significant pipeline growth, with $8.3 million obligated to date (35% realization rate). Nine awards totaling $3.5 million in combined potential value are scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively in total small business set-asides at the delivery-order and definitive-contract level, with two non-set-aside IDIQ vehicles anchoring the base. All work is performed at federal facility locations nationwide, with place of performance spanning California, Kentucky, Oregon, Tennessee, Arizona, Iowa, Wisconsin, South Dakota, North Carolina, and other states as Job Corps and forest service operations dictate.
