Daniel V. Fischer

Daniel V. Fischer, doing business as Fischer Land Surveying & Engineering, operates as a sole proprietor based in Langdon, North Dakota, delivering professional land surveying and boundary survey services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on small-dollar delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor holds a single-award IDIQ with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) running through December 2026 and competes full-and-open without set-aside designation, though the underlying IDIQ vehicle is reserved for total small business.

Customer concentration is acute. The Department of Agriculture NRCS Central Region accounts for 93% of all awards (104 of 114) and 98% of combined potential value ($4.1 million of $4.2 million). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 8 together represent two orders totaling $32 thousand. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: boundary surveys, legal surveys, and easement surveys supporting the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program under NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping services, excluding geophysical services). Two recent delivery orders awarded January 20, 2026, under the NRCS single-award IDIQ illustrate the work: a $24,661 boundary survey for the Almer project in Tuttle, North Dakota (completion June 19, 2026), and a $17,049 legal boundary survey for the Nelson project in Souris, North Dakota (completion June 19, 2026). Both carry firm fixed-price terms and are funded through NRCS Central Region.

The NRCS single-award IDIQ, awarded December 15, 2025, with a $3 million ceiling and one-year performance term, anchors the vendor's federal footprint. Two older USDA IDIQs (AG6633C090021 and AG3C78C160001) carry 70 and 33 task orders respectively across historical performance. Activity is sparse and episodic — 114 awards spanning two decades, with clustering in 2016 (21 awards), followed by near-dormancy until 2025 and 2026. Combined potential value is $4.2 million; combined dollars obligated total $1.2 million (28% of ceiling). The vendor's Professional Land Surveyor licensure in North Dakota and localized market position in the Northern Plains region position it for continued NRCS and federal land-management work in that geography.
