Donald Smurthwaite

Donald Smurthwaite, a sole proprietor based in Boise, Idaho, provides writing, editing, design, and public affairs services to the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region as a small-business prime contractor on a series of blanket purchase agreement calls. All eight awards across the source data span a single federal customer, with a combined potential value of fifteen thousand dollars and one hundred percent of that amount obligated.

Smurthwaite's entire active footprint consists of BPA calls under the BLM Idaho Region's blanket purchase agreement (BPA 140L2621A0007), which carries six task orders valued at five thousand dollars combined. Work includes draft nominations for awards ($600 firm fixed price, ultimate completion November 30, 2025), award-nomination and public-affairs writing ($1,400 set-aside call to total small business, completion September 30, 2022), and a presentation development for Boise State University's Osher Institute ($800 to total small business, completed April 1, 2022). The three named awards cover customized communication products, award-nomination drafting, brochure design and printing, presentations, and speechwriting training, with individual order values ranging from two hundred forty dollars to seventeen hundred sixty dollars. Category concentration clusters around NAICS All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (seven awards) and PSC Photo/Map/Print/Publication-Technical Writing (seven awards).

Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2014, one in 2020, three in 2021, two in 2022, and one in 2025 — with no subcontracting footprint. The vendor operates exclusively on small-business set-asides or no set-aside designation and holds no parent IDIQ, GWAC, or GSA Schedule presence. Federal revenue remains micro-scale; combined obligated dollars total fifteen thousand dollars across the entire award history in the source data.
