Allstar Ecology LLC

Allstar Ecology LLC, doing business as Pendo Management LLC, is a HUBZone-certified small business based in Fairmont, West Virginia, that delivers invasive species control, chemical site preparation, herbicide application, and environmental consulting services to federal land management and conservation agencies, operating as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under total small business and HUBZone set-aside designations and full-and-open competition. The company is structured as a Subchapter S Corporation and competes predominantly under small business set-asides, particularly across USDA Forest Service and Department of the Interior contracts.

Allstar's capability footprint centers on vegetation management and invasive species control across national forests, wildlife refuges, and Army Corps of Engineers facilities throughout the Appalachian region. Representative work includes a $50 million multi-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions for professional services, natural resources restoration, engineering, and project management (awarded June 2025, running through March 2033); a $1.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Forest Service Eastern Region for chemical site preparation on the Monongahela National Forest (awarded March 2024, running through February 2029, with services including stem injection, basal spraying, foliar spraying, and cut stump treatment of up to 7,500 acres annually); and a $115,775 delivery order for red spruce release through herbicide application across 434 acres at Gauley Red Spruce National Preservation Area (awarded February 2024). Allstar also performs bat surveys, stream and wetland delineations, and mitigation design work for Army Corps of Engineers projects, exemplified by a $18,020 bat monitoring contract for Indiana bat and northern long-eared bat surveys at Rivers Project lands in Missouri (awarded August 2022).

Customer concentration is dominated by the USDA Forest Service Eastern Region, which accounts for 30 awards and $8.5 million in combined potential value across the top five customers (79% of award count). The Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions (via the $50 million BPA) and the Forest Service Eastern Region together represent 99% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore holds the second-tier relationship (6 awards, $1.6 million), followed by multiple Fish and Wildlife Service regions and the Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region at smaller scale. Twelve distinct customer agencies appear across the portfolio.

Allstar holds two major parent vehicles: the Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA through the Forest Service Acquisitions office ($50 million ceiling, multiple award, through March 2033) and the MOF Chemical Site Preparation single-award IDIQ with Forest Service Eastern Region ($1.5 million, through February 2029). Smaller task-order vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contract 12343420D0011 (7 task orders, $408 thousand), Wayne National Forest Non-Native Invasive Plant Control 2016-2021 (4 task orders, $43 thousand), and several other regional IDIQ vehicles. Award volume has declined from seven awards in 2022 to one award in 2026 (2 awards in 2025), signaling a contraction in transactional activity outside the large BPA vehicle. Three awards totaling $149 thousand face completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. Top NAICS categories are Support Activities for Forestry (35 awards) and Landscaping Services (9 awards), with top PSC codes in Natural Resources and Conservation—Land Treatment Practices (19 awards) and Environmental Systems Protection—Pesticides Support (9 awards).

AllStar Ecology is a full-service environmental consulting and contracting firm providing a wide variety of natural resource expertise backed by experience on the ground contracting capabilities.
