Bliss Ventures, LLC

Bliss Ventures, LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Rimersburg, Pennsylvania, delivers building and grounds maintenance services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Army Reserve Command as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively in federal facilities maintenance across Pennsylvania, with 100% of its recent award footprint composed of prime contracts (34 awards, $4.6 million combined potential value) and zero subcontract exposure.

Bliss Ventures' capability portfolio centers narrowly on landscaping, mowing, brush clearing, facility cleaning, waste and sewage removal, pesticide application, and maintenance of recreational amenities—boat launches, campgrounds, nature trails, fishing piers—at federal water resource installations. Work is performed on firm fixed-price delivery order basis under four active indefinite delivery contracts. Representative examples include a $1.44 million IDC with USACE Pittsburgh District for building and grounds maintenance at Crooked Creek Lake in Ford City, Pennsylvania (awarded October 1, 2023, running through September 30, 2026 with four optional one-year extensions); a $575,141 IDC for Loyalhanna Lake in Saltsburg, Pennsylvania (awarded May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2027 with four optional extensions); a $757,394 IDC for East Branch Clarion River Lake in Wilcox, Pennsylvania (awarded March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2030); and a $359,974 IDC for Mahoning Creek Lake (awarded April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031). Under these IDCs, delivery orders range from approximately $1,324 to $131,294.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency dominant. USACE Pittsburgh District and USACE (national) account for 100% of awards by count and value across the footprint, with Pittsburgh District alone representing 21 awards and $2 million combined potential value. The U.S. Army Reserve Command holds two purchase orders valued at $235 thousand combined for grounds maintenance at Indiana and Coraopolis, Pennsylvania facilities. This customer concentration reflects Bliss Ventures' narrow market positioning in federal real estate maintenance for Army installations.

Activity has grown year-over-year from five awards in 2023 to thirteen in 2025, with a trajectory shift to eight awards in 2026 (first five months of the year). Three awards with combined potential value of $277 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure in that window. The four active indefinite delivery contracts carry combined potential value of approximately $3.1 million, with 28 delivery orders issued to date and the bulk of remaining ceiling available for task orders through 2030.

Bliss Ventures holds no parent vehicle positions (GWACs, government-wide IDIQs, or GSA Schedule seats) and does not operate as a subcontractor. All work flows directly through single-award IDCs with USACE districts. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides on the underlying IDC awards; individual delivery orders issued under those IDCs often carry no set-aside designation, reflecting open competition at the order level once the small business IDC prime is established. NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and PSC S208 (Housekeeping-Landscaping/Groundskeeping) dominate the portfolio, representing the full scope of the company's federal engagement.
