Excel Tree Expert Company, Incorporated

Excel Tree Expert Company, Incorporated (doing business as Excel Tree Expert Co Inc.) is a Maryland-based small business operating as a prime contractor exclusively in hazardous tree removal, trimming, debris clearing, and cyclic tree maintenance services for federal agencies. The company operates entirely under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside designations, with no subcontract footprint.

Excel Tree Expert's federal footprint is heavily concentrated with the Department of the Interior's National Park Service National Office, which accounts for 107 of the vendor's 159 prime awards (67% of the portfolio) and $9.7 million of the $12 million combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support is the second-largest customer with 24 awards and $1.2 million in combined potential value. Together, these two customers cover 92% of recent awards and 96% of combined potential value. The vendor has worked with eleven distinct federal agencies, but National Park Service dominance is structural: the vendor sits on Indefinite Delivery Contract INP15PC00232 with NPS, which carries 97 task orders valued at $4.5 million combined potential. Representative recent work includes a $271 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the National Park Service Intermountain Region on June 26, 2026, for FY26 cyclic hazardous tree maintenance at Rock Creek Park through June 25, 2027, requiring five eight-hour workdays per month with a crew of two climbers, two ground workers, and an on-site supervisor under Service Contract Act prevailing wage rates; an $89.4 thousand firm fixed-price contract from the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service in August 2023 for the CATO FY23 Hazard Tree Package 1 covering hazardous tree removal and debris clearing at Rock Creek Park, Catoctin Mountain Park, Monocacy National Battlefield, and the U.S. Naval Academy grounds; and a $6.25 thousand firm fixed-price removal order from USDA's National Office in May 2025 for hazardous tree removal from a horse center roof.

Activity has declined substantially: twelve awards in 2020 contracted to two in 2021, then one award each in 2023, 2025, and 2026, with only one award (the $271 thousand NPS Intermountain Region purchase order) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's primary NAICS footprint is landscaping services (144 of 159 awards), with secondary concentration in forest products and forestry support. Combined dollars obligated total $7.5 million of the $12 million combined potential value, a 63% obligation rate. The vendor places work under five named parent vehicles, anchored by the NPS Indefinite Delivery Contract INP15PC00232, followed by USDA Blanket Purchase Agreement 1232SC18A0002 (8 task orders, $143 thousand) and USDA Indefinite Delivery Contract AG32SCC130028 (7 task orders, $449 thousand).
