A-1 Tree Care, Inc.

A-1 Tree Care, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Hillsboro, Ohio, delivers landscape maintenance, tree care, and natural resource management services to the federal government as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, with 100% of its award footprint composed of prime contracts and BPA calls issued by the Department of the Air Force. The company holds Department of Transportation DBE certification and self-certified small disadvantaged business status, competing exclusively under set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open procurements.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command accounts for 43 of 54 awards (79% of the portfolio) and $9.5 million of the $9.9 million combined potential value. The remaining five customer agencies — the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville, the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory — collectively account for 11 awards and $358 thousand. All work is performed at or tied to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, where A-1 Tree Care has operated as a primary natural resource services provider for over a decade.

A-1 Tree Care holds two single-award BPA vehicles with the Air Force Materiel Command: a $2.9 million five-year BPA established June 20, 2024, extending through June 19, 2029, and a $500,000 BPA through October 2025. The $2.9 million vehicle is the primary ordering platform, with 16 task orders ($1.1 million combined potential value) under BPA FA860119A0002 and 15 task orders ($857 thousand) under BPA FA860124A0011. Representative work includes a $347,950 BPA call (Order 0019) issued March 23, 2026, for tree trimming, mowing, and tree removal at Wright-Patterson AFB with firm fixed-price delivery by September 30, 2026; a $114,975 call placed December 1, 2024, for mechanical removal, non-selective spraying, mowing, and grapple truck services; and a $41,700 call issued September 13, 2024, for tree removal, urban tree replacement, and tree trimming/pruning. The company also holds contracts with the Army Corps of Engineers for tree removal services at Army Reserve facilities, including a $37,650 total small business set-aside call awarded December 13, 2023.

Activity has grown modestly from three awards in 2022 and 2023 to eight awards in 2025, with only two awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months ($348 thousand potential value), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure; the primary $2.9 million BPA vehicle does not expire until June 19, 2029. The capability portfolio spans landscaping services (49 awards), soil preparation and planting (4 awards), and logging (1 award), with work classified under natural resources/conservation, land treatment practices, forest tree planting, and grounds-keeping PSC codes. A-1 Tree Care operates with no identified subcontractor relationships; all awards name the company as the sole prime contractor. Combined dollars obligated ($3.5 million) represent 35% of combined potential value, indicating moderate cash realization against contract ceilings in recent years.
