About the company
Young Gun Construction LLC, an SBA-certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) and 8(a) Program participant based in Ludlow, South Dakota, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering heavy civil construction, infrastructure repair, mine waste remediation, and road and bridge construction services to federal land-management agencies across the Northern Rocky Mountains and Northern Plains regions. The company competes predominantly under total small-business set-asides and 8(a) sole-source designations, with 100% of its recent award footprint as prime contracts.
Young Gun Construction's customer concentration is highly concentrated within the U.S. Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) accounts for 19 awards totaling $122.9 million in combined potential value—63% of the portfolio. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) contributes 3 awards worth $70 million, driven by a single $50 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for road and bridge construction services awarded in July 2025. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas Region and National Office round out the customer base with two small awards. The portfolio is almost entirely USDA Forest Service-funded; a single $24 thousand award from the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service comprises the only non-Forest-Service, non-BLM work.
Young Gun Construction holds four significant indefinite delivery vehicles totaling $170 million in combined ceiling value across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4. The anchor positions are a $50 million multiple-award MATOC for Region 1 Road and Bridge Construction (awarded December 2024, completion December 2029), a $50 million multiple-award MATOC for Region 2 Road and Bridge Construction (awarded July 2025, completion July 2030), and a $50 million Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance Blanket Purchase Agreement spanning Regions 1–4 (awarded October 2023, completion August 2033). A fourth vehicle—a $20 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for Region 2 Road Maintenance and Forest Maintenance Support Services (awarded September 2025, completion September 2030)—establishes a direct ordering mechanism for regional maintenance operations. Task order activity against these vehicles remains sparse in the source data; recent work includes a $77,620 Sioux Blowdown disaster relief delivery order under the Region 1 MATOC.
Representative direct contract work demonstrates Young Gun Construction's remediation and infrastructure portfolio. A $3.61 million definitive contract awarded March 2026 for the Bluff B Mine Waste Excavation Project involved excavating 310,000 cubic yards of hazardous mine waste in Harding County, South Dakota, with OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training required for all personnel. A $1.72 million purchase order awarded September 2026 covers reconstruction of Greenough Campground on the Custer-Gallatin National Forest, including site preparation, asphalt paving, culvert installation, concrete vault toilet construction, fishing pier building, and well drilling under Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage. A $998,925 total small-business set-aside awarded June 2025 funds forest-wide concrete toilet installation across the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. The company's work spans GAOA (Great American Outdoors Act) funded recreation infrastructure, dam and drainage structure repairs (Talkington Dam projects totaling over $300 thousand), culvert and bridge replacement (Horse Creek Phase II at $881,556), and emergency disaster recovery (West Fork Rock Creek flood response at $639,210).
Capability framing by NAICS code reflects the heavy-construction orientation: Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (12 awards), Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (5 awards), and Remediation Services (5 awards) dominate the portfolio. PSC coding confirms the infrastructure focus: Construction of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, and Railways (8 awards) and Repair or Alteration or Restoration of Real Property (6 awards) are primary service categories.
Activity has grown materially in recent years—two awards in both 2022 and 2023, rising to eight awards annually in 2024 and 2025. The most recent award arrived September 21, 2026. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months totals two awards with combined potential value of $2.7 million, a modest recompete cliff relative to the portfolio's overall scale. Young Gun Construction's source data indicates it performs work almost entirely with its own labor; subcontractor hours represent 0% of total contractor hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts, with only three named subcontractors reported across the entire SCI footprint. This signals a vertically integrated delivery model reliant on direct-hire crews rather than teaming or labor subcontracting.
SCI-reportable invoicing peaked at $7.4 million in FY2024 across 5.0 FTEs on federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold, with $4.3 million in FY2023 and $1.6 million in FY2022; no SCI invoicing appears for FY2025 in the source. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $568 per hour, with senior labor pricing extending through $934 per hour and entry-level labor at approximately $397 per hour. These figures represent only service contracts reported under the SCI mechanism and exclude goods, construction labor, classified work, and non-federal revenue; they understate the company's total federal activity substantially relative to the $195.2 million in combined potential value across the full award portfolio.
