Davey Resource Group, Inc.

Davey Resource Group, Inc., a subsidiary of The Davey Tree Expert Company, provides integrated vegetation management, tree removal, arboriculture, environmental consulting, and invasive-species mitigation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (84% of awards) and subcontractor, competing full-and-open without set-aside designation. The company is based in Kent, Ohio, and operates within primary NAICS categories of Landscaping Services (29 awards) and Environmental Consulting Services (9 awards), with a heavy concentration on tree-thinning and pest-control work (PSC codes Natural Resources/Conservation—Tree Thinning and Housekeeping—Insect/Rodent Control).

Davey's federal customer base centers on the Department of Agriculture across multiple business units. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), and associated divisions account for 96% of combined potential value across recent awards. Within APHIS, Davey holds a dominant position on Asian longhorned beetle eradication work in South Carolina: a $16.1 million single-award IDIQ for tree removal, stump grinding, debris disposal, and insecticide application (awarded July 7, 2022, expiring January 6, 2026) has generated 25 task orders worth $14.9 million combined potential value. Recent representative prime work includes a $1.2 million definitive contract for ALB tree removal services in South Carolina (April 20, 2026), a $960,619 delivery order under the APHIS IDIQ (December 3, 2025), and a $428,150 delivery order for outdoor broadcast spray treatments to control a noctuid moth species near O'Hare International Airport in Chicago (April 22, 2026). Beyond APHIS, Davey holds a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service for Land Management Integrated Resources services (awarded July 23, 2024, extending through March 2033) and a $3.5 million delivery order from the Western Area Power Administration for Sierra Nevada Region integrated vegetation management utility forester support (awarded July 1, 2025, with a base year plus four one-year options through June 30, 2030).

Davey's vehicle portfolio is anchored by two large IDIQs and the Forest Service BPA. The $16.1 million APHIS IDIQ (12639522D0073) and a $50 million Forest Service BPA drive the bulk of ordered work. On the GSA side, Davey holds a Federal Supply Schedule contract (MAS) valued at $1.5 million (awarded April 20, 2023, extending through April 19, 2028) with 29 labor categories ranging from $40.92/hr for entry-level GIS/IT Technicians (associate degree) to $119.65/hr for senior principal-level positions (bachelor's degree, 15 years' experience). No security-cleared labor is offered. SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the reporting threshold totaled $7.5 million from FY2022 through FY2024 ($569 thousand in FY2022, $3.9 million in FY2023, $3.1 million in FY2024), with government-paid median hourly rates around $139.83/hr (10th percentile $11.01/hr; 90th percentile $229.34/hr) on prime contracts. Davey reports roughly 13 FTEs on SCI-reportable contracts in FY2024, reflecting seasonal and project-based field operations rather than a stable core staff.

Davey operates as a prime on 84% of its awards but regularly subcontracts, averaging 45% of contractor hours to named subs across SCI-reportable prime contracts. Named subcontractors include Weston Solutions Inc. (arborist services on Region 6 Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team work for FEMA support and environmental consulting), Noreas Aptim Environmental Remediation JV (wetland delineation, restoration, permitting, and revegetation services), and eight other firms across environmental and restoration specialties. The company also operates as a sub to larger environmental primes, with recent sub awards from Weston Solutions and Noreas Aptim for environmental consulting and restoration work (FY2024).

Activity has grown from 6 awards in FY2022 to a peak of 16 in FY2024, with 11 awards in FY2025 and 3 in FY2026 year-to-date. Twelve awards carrying $7.5 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated within the APHIS ALB and noctuid moth eradication programs. Davey Resource Group is one of two named subsidiaries of The Davey Tree Expert Company; a second subsidiary, Wetland Studies And Solutions, Inc., operates under a separate UEI and holds parallel federal contracts for wetland consulting and environmental remediation work.
