Rangen, LLC

Rangen, LLC (doing business as Wilbur-Ellis Nutrition, LLC), a for-profit limited liability company based in Buhl, Idaho, manufactures and supplies specialized aquaculture feed to the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service as a prime contractor on a single dominant vehicle and recurring BPA calls, competing on full-and-open, non-set-aside procurements exclusively.

Rangen operates under the primary NAICS category 311119 (Other Animal Food Manufacturing) and PSC code R (Forage and Feed), producing nutritionally formulated fish feed tailored to support diverse fish species across the National Fish Hatchery System. The vendor's federal footprint centers entirely on one master vehicle: a $75 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA 140F0S23A0004) awarded by the Fish and Wildlife Service on October 27, 2022, and running through October 31, 2032. Under this BPA, Rangen has received 32 task orders (combined potential value $1.5 million obligated to date) for quarterly and seasonal feed deliveries to specific National Fish Hatcheries across the contiguous United States. Recent representative work includes a $114,400 BPA call for fish food delivery to Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery in Tennessee (May 29, 2026), a $76,560 call for bulk feed to Norfork National Fish Hatchery in Arkansas (March 10, 2026), a $126,500 call for March-through-July 2025 feed supplies to Norfolk National Fish Hatchery in Arkansas, and a $137,530.80 call for April-through-August 2024 bulk feed to the same Arkansas facility. Rangen also holds two smaller indefinite delivery contracts (IDC 140F0118D0013 with eight task orders, $223 thousand combined value, and BPA 140F0418A0006 with two task orders, $115 thousand combined value).

Customer concentration is extreme and intentional: the Fish and Wildlife Service accounts for 100% of Rangen's recorded federal award footprint (53 awards, $92 million combined potential value), disaggregated across the national agency office and five regional offices. The top-level Fish and Wildlife Service entity holds 17 awards valued at $75.6 million (primarily the master BPA ceiling); Region 1 contributes $15 million in combined potential value from a single award; Region 4 contributes $759 thousand across ten awards; Region 6 contributes $308 thousand across twelve awards; and Regions 2 and 5 together contribute $220 thousand across nine awards.

Activity has grown modestly and inconsistently over the past five years: six awards in 2022, six in 2023, eleven in 2024, eight in 2025, and seven through mid-2026. Over $75.6 million in combined potential value sits in the master BPA agreement, but only $2 million has been obligated year-to-date across all awards (2% utilization), reflecting the BPA's role as a standing vehicle from which the agency issues periodic task orders as seasonal and quarterly feed requirements arise. Only four awards (combined potential value $244 thousand) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure; the master BPA itself runs through October 31, 2032, anchoring Rangen's dominant position in Fish and Wildlife Service aquaculture feed procurement for the next six years. Rangen competes on 100% prime awards with no subcontractor or sub-award relationships; all work is performed at the vendor's Buhl, Idaho manufacturing facility or delivered directly to hatchery locations in California, Colorado, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, Utah, New Mexico, Missouri, North Dakota, and Texas.
