Rutt Fence.

Rutt Fence, a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in the federal contractor supply chain, operates predominantly as a subcontractor (83% of recent awards) on military construction and facilities work, with minimal prime contracting exposure. The company holds one prime contract and five subcontract awards across a two-year window (2022–2024), concentrated in fence and gate installation and repair services for federal facilities.

Rutt Fence's customer footprint is narrow and centered on two agencies. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for five awards (all subcontract work under a single indefinite delivery contract vehicle, N6247318D5823), while the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc placed one prime award. The Navy subcontract work, all dated October 1, 2024, supports construction of secure facilities for F-18 operations at Naval Air Warfare Center China Lake, California, under a TIME task order (D491D029). Rutt Fence's single prime award—a $5,000 definitive contract from Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc in December 2022—covered straightening and re-securing a locking beam on a prison gate and related adjustments.

Activity is sparse and irregular: one prime award in 2022 and five subcontract task orders in 2024, with no awards reported in 2023. The combined potential value across all six awards is only $5,000, though combined dollars obligated across the portfolio reached $207,000, indicating that actual invoiced work substantially exceeded the stated ceiling values. Rutt Fence's footprint falls entirely within commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS), with secondary categorization under maintenance of penal facilities (PSC). The company's subcontract anchor is I.e.-Pacific, Inc., a general construction prime that is driving the Navy work pipeline at China Lake. No parent vehicle beyond the Navy indefinite delivery contract (N6247318D5823) is in evidence. The vendor's award history suggests a highly specialized, facilities-focused role—fence, gate, and related security infrastructure—with no diversification across service lines or customer agencies and no presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles.
