About Young Gun Construction LLC
Young Gun Construction LLC, an economically disadvantaged women-owned small business and SBA 8(a) Program participant based in Ludlow, South Dakota, provides heavy civil construction and mine reclamation services to the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontractor footprint. The company competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, particularly 8(a) Sole Source and Total Small Business designations, across infrastructure projects in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Northern Plains regions.
Young Gun Construction's customer base is heavily concentrated with the USDA Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region accounts for 18 awards totaling $120.8 million in combined potential value (62.5% of the company's portfolio), while the USDA Forest Service R2-Rocky Mountain Region holds 3 awards worth $70 million. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas Region and National Office round out the active set with $2.25 million combined. Both agency-ranking metrics align: USDA Forest Service dominates by award count and dollar value across all regional divisions. Young Gun Construction holds no current work with Department of Defense or civilian agencies outside land management.
The company's capability portfolio centers on highway and bridge construction (12 awards), environmental remediation and mine waste reclamation (5 awards), and heavy civil engineering (4 awards). Representative prime work includes a $3.198 million Total Small Business definitive contract with USDA Forest Service R1 for the 2026 Bluff B Mine Waste Excavation Project (excavation of 310,000 cubic yards of hazardous mine waste and access road construction, awarded March 10, 2026); a $50 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with USDA Forest Service R2 for road and bridge construction services across Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, and Wyoming (awarded July 14, 2025); a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with USDA Forest Service R1 for Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance services across Regions 1–4 (awarded October 2, 2023); and a $844.3 million Woman-Owned Small Business award with the Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas for reconstruction of the Dean S. Recreation Site in Miles City, Montana, including access roads, camping facilities, and trailwork (awarded April 1, 2025). The company also holds a $20 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with USDA Forest Service R2 for road maintenance and forest maintenance services across nine national forests and grasslands (awarded September 30, 2025).
Activity has accelerated significantly. The company completed 2 awards in 2022 and 2 in 2023, then jumped to 8 awards in 2024 and 8 in 2025. Young Gun Construction holds a combined $193 million in potential value across 25 prime awards, with $23 million obligated to date (12% of potential). Three awards totaling $4.2 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting near-term recompete exposure concentrated on mine reclamation and facility maintenance work with USDA Forest Service R1.
Service Contract Inventory data for SCI-reportable prime contracts shows invoiced revenue of $1.6 million in FY2022, $4.3 million in FY2023, and $7.4 million in FY2024, reflecting growth across a federally reported workforce scale of 1.6 FTEs in FY2022, 3.9 FTEs in FY2023, and 5.0 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on these prime contracts median around $568/hr, with senior labor pricing through $934/hr. The company performs work almost entirely with its own labor; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractor hours represent only 1% of total contractor hours, with 3 named subcontractors reported across the SCI dataset. Young Gun Construction operates as a pure prime contractor with minimal subcontracting dependency.
