4 Control Inc.

4 Control Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Menomonie, Wisconsin, provides herbicide application, invasive species control, and vegetation management services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements across the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture, and the Army Corps of Engineers.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with a narrow, specialized capability footprint centered on chemical treatment and habitat restoration. Work centers on targeted herbicide application for woody invasive species control, wildland fire risk mitigation, and ecosystem restoration at national wildlife refuges, wetland management districts, and Corps of Engineers lock-and-dam operations. Representative recent work includes a $363,758.81 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul District (awarded March 2022, running through September 2026) for herbicide spraying at thirteen locks and dams and five additional sites across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa; two single-award BPAs worth $250,000 each from the Fish and Wildlife Service for chemical treatment and herbicide application at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge (May 2023 through May 2028) and the Wisconsin-St. Croix Wetland Management District (September 2023 through September 2028); and an April 2026 exercise of option year 4 on the Corps of Engineers contract for $80,170.75 at Fountain City, Wisconsin.

The vendor's customer concentration sits with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 (22 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value) and the broader Army Corps of Engineers enterprise (12 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value, with subordinate entities such as the St. Paul District and Louisville District also holding significant portfolios). These two customer organizations account for 77% of combined potential value across the vendor's recent federal footprint. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region and the National Park Service Midwest Region round out the active set. Work is performed across Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and other Midwest locations with administrative oversight at Fountain City, Wisconsin.

4 Control Inc. holds multiple single-award vehicle positions. The two primary BPAs noted above generate steady task-order volume — the Necedah BPA has issued three call orders through mid-2024 totaling approximately $14,100, and the St. Croix BMA has issued multiple call orders since September 2023. Additional named vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contracts 140F0318D0001 (8 task orders, $71 thousand combined potential value) and INF12PC00090 (7 task orders, $87 thousand combined potential value), both for Fish and Wildlife Service work, and older BPA INP17PA00045 (12 task orders, $14 thousand combined potential value).

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years — six awards in 2021 and 2022, nine in 2023, five in 2024, and one award year-to-date in 2026 — with 127 total federal awards in the source data spanning back to 1992. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $7 million, with $4.3 million obligated (61% of potential). The vendor faces a modest recompete exposure window: one award (combined potential value $364 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's NAICS profile concentrates on Landscaping Services (50 awards) and Support Activities for Forestry (30 awards), with secondary depth in Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing (19 awards).
