Garland Land Surveying Inc.

Garland Land Surveying Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation based in Alberton, Montana, delivers cadastral survey, boundary mapping, and land marking services exclusively to the U.S. Forest Service Northern Region as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor operates 100% as a prime — no subcontract footprint — and competes across both set-aside and non-set-aside vehicles, with total small business set-asides appearing on roughly half of recent orders.

Garland's customer concentration is absolute: all seventeen awards in recent years flow from a single customer, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region), accounting for $10.8 million in combined potential value. The vendor holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) valued at $5 million, effective through September 2029, for property boundary surveying and marking services supporting land management activities across national forests and grasslands in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. This IDC is a total small business set-aside awarded September 18, 2024. Against this vehicle and an older IDC (AG0343C170028), Garland has drawn fifteen task orders ranging from roughly $25,900 to $369,600. Recent representative work includes a $369,589 total small business set-aside delivery order for the Chloride Gold cadastral survey Phase 1 project at Idaho Panhandle National Forest (completion December 31, 2027), a $216,836 total small business set-aside order for the Garfield Gold cadastral survey in Sagle, Idaho (completion June 10, 2027), and a $198,515 total small business set-aside order for the Bitterroot 2026 cadastral survey in Stevensville, Montana (completion June 11, 2027). Work encompasses cadastral boundary retracement, monumentation, landline location services, and legal record production directly supporting Forest Service land management and resource extraction projects.

Activity has been modest and episodic — three awards in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — with four awards (combined potential value $922 thousand) scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure on the Northern Region's cadastral survey demand. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $2 million (19% of combined potential value), indicating task orders are drawn incrementally against the $5 million IDC ceiling. The vendor's scope is narrowly defined: surveying and mapping services (NAICS 541370) under Architect and Engineering—General PSC coding, with geographic performance concentrated in the Northern Region's four-state footprint.
