4 Control Inc.

4 Control Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Menomonie, Wisconsin, delivers herbicide application, invasive species control, and vegetation management services to federal land management agencies across the Midwest as a prime contractor operating entirely on small-business set-aside and full-and-open contracts. The vendor operates 100% as prime (128 awards, zero sub work) and competes across both total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements, with combined potential value of $7.1 million and $4.3 million obligated across the recent award footprint.

4 Control Inc.'s customer base concentrates heavily within the Interior Department's land stewardship mission. The top five customer agencies account for 59% of recent awards by count and 78% by combined potential value, led by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 (23 awards, $1.4 million), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (12 awards, $2.2 million across all USACE offices), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Eastern Region (13 awards, $736 thousand). The two rankings diverge meaningfully — USACE dominates potential value despite fewer individual awards, driven by larger contract vehicles and multi-year maintenance scopes. Recent representative work includes a $363,758.81 total-small-business purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul District for herbicide spraying at thirteen locks and dams plus five additional Mississippi River sites across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa (base year plus four option years through September 2026); a $250,000 single-award BPA from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 for chemical treatment at the Wisconsin-St. Croix Wetland Management District (September 2028 ultimate completion); and a $40,000 BPA call from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 for vegetation management at St. Croix, awarded August 3, 2026.

The vendor's primary vehicles are single-award and task-order BPAs held by Interior and USACE. The top parent vehicles include Blanket Purchase Agreement INP17PA00045 (12 task orders, $14 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract 140F0318D0001 (8 task orders, $71 thousand), and Indefinite Delivery Contract INF12PC00090 (7 task orders, $87 thousand). Work is categorized across Landscaping Services (50 awards), Support Activities for Forestry (31 awards), and Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing (19 awards), with PSC codes weighted toward Natural Resources/Conservation and Environmental Systems Protection. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (six awards annually in 2021 and 2022, nine in 2023, five in 2024), with only one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($40 thousand).
