Tri-State Bobcat Inc.

Tri-State Bobcat Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation headquartered in Burnsville, Minnesota, supplies equipment repair services and specialized machinery to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis, with no set-aside designations across its recent federal work. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime, with zero subcontract volume, and specializes in Bobcat skid steer equipment, lawn and garden machinery, emergency utility vehicles, and related repair and maintenance services for civilian and defense agencies across the Midwest and nationwide.

The vendor's customer concentration spans multiple small-dollar purchases across twelve distinct federal agencies, with no single customer dominating the footprint. The top five customers by award count account for 42% of awards and 77% of combined potential value: the Air Force Air National Guard (3 awards, $168 thousand), the VA Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (3 awards, $150 thousand), the VA National Cemetery Administration (2 awards, $84 thousand), the Army Reserve Command (1 award, $36 thousand), and the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 (3 awards, $34 thousand). Recent representative work includes a $126.3 thousand firm fixed price purchase order from VA Veterans Health Administration in December 2021 for emergency utility vehicles, a $21.7 thousand Total Small Business set-aside from the VA St. Paul Regional Benefit Office in September 2025 for lawn maintenance equipment, and a $5 thousand purchase order from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 in January 2026 for Bobcat repair services. Skid steer and lawn equipment manufacturing and repair categories (NAICS merchant wholesalers and machinery manufacturing) dominate the award portfolio alongside motor vehicle maintenance and specialized equipment procurement codes.

Activity has been sparse and intermittent — one award in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2025, one in 2026 — with only $615 thousand in combined potential value across 33 total awards since 2006. The vendor operates at a small-dollar transactional scale, with no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or standing contract vehicles in the federal footprint.
