Aesic, LLC

Aesic, LLC, doing business as Andres Excavating, is a self-employed sole proprietorship certified as a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Brookville, Pennsylvania, that performs forestry vegetation management and natural resources restoration work for the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides.

The vendor's footprint consists of four prime awards spanning nine years, all awarded by USDA Forest Service entities. Two purchase orders address mechanical and manual mastication of mountain laurel and woody vegetation on the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania — a $184,450 small-business-set-aside purchase order awarded July 10, 2023, with ultimate completion date September 27, 2024, and a $99,569 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded July 2, 2024, with ultimate completion date November 1, 2024. These two awards account for $336,019 in combined potential value and represent work performed under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry). The vendor holds a $50 million blanket purchase agreement issued by USDA Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions on July 13, 2026, under the Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) program. The BPA carries no set-aside designation, covers work through March 6, 2033, and encompasses professional services, natural resources restoration, engineering, project management, inspection, natural resources consulting, data management, restoration, road work, and plant material production performed across the United States under NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and PSC code R408 (Support-Professional: Natural Resources).

Customer concentration is entirely confined to USDA Forest Service — the Forest Service R9-Eastern Region placed three awards totaling $336 thousand, while the Washington Office Acquisitions arm placed the $50 million BPA. Combined potential value stands at $50.3 million, though only $336 thousand has been obligated to date. Activity is sparse and episodic: one award in 2017, one in 2023, one in 2024, and the BPA award in 2026.
