Glahe & Associates Inc.

Glahe & Associates Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Sandpoint, Idaho, provides cadastral boundary surveying, property boundary marking, and land survey services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor exclusively — the company holds no subcontract awards and operates under small-business set-asides across most of its IDIQ vehicles.

Glahe & Associates holds four active IDIQs representing $50 million in combined ceiling value through 2031. The two largest vehicles are newly awarded multiple-award Architect-Engineer contracts held under the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, each valued at $20 million and set aside for total small business, covering property boundary surveying and marking across national forests and grasslands in Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California (Forest Service Research Service; awarded August 3, 2026; completion August 2, 2031). The company also holds a $25 million multiple-award IDIQ with the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) set aside for total small business, supporting boundary surveying across National Forests and Grasslands in Oregon, Washington, and portions of western Idaho and northern California (awarded May 13, 2024; completion May 31, 2029), and a $5 million single-award IDIQ with the Forest Service Northern Region (Region 1) for cadastral surveying in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota (awarded September 20, 2024; completion September 19, 2029). Recent representative task orders under these vehicles include a $331,748.75 delivery order for Southwest Tiller Fuel Break boundary line survey on the Umpqua National Forest (Region 6; awarded August 3, 2026; completion August 31, 2027), a $247,804.05 task order for the Integrated Planning Framework Wildland Legacy Zone Sandpoint South cadastral survey (Region 1; awarded September 25, 2024; completion September 25, 2025), and a $208,275 delivery order for boundary maintenance and posting on the Ochoco National Forest Crazy Creek Fire Rehabilitation Project (Region 6; awarded September 23, 2026; completion December 31, 2027).

Customer concentration is extreme and geographic. Eighty-three awards across the portfolio — 78% of all awards — flow to two Forest Service regional offices: Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) holds 27 awards worth $32.3 million combined potential value, and Region 1 (Northern) holds 11 awards worth $9.5 million. The Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for three awards totaling $4.1 million. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission appears in the award portfolio with 22 awards but carries no dollar value in the source material; the nature and scope of work for that customer is not described in the available data. The Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station anchors 97% of the portfolio's combined potential value with the two newly awarded $20 million IDIQs. Activity has accelerated in recent years — two awards in 2021 rising to seven in 2024 and four in 2026 — though only $540 thousand in combined potential value faces completion within the next twenty-four months, leaving minimal recompete pressure in the near term.

Glahe & Associates operates through Indefinite Delivery contracts under NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services). The vendor holds no GSA Schedules, GWACs, or government-wide vehicles; all work flows through Forest Service and BLM regional and multi-agency IDIQs. The company's capability footprint is narrow and specialized: boundary retracements, Public Land Survey System surveys, monumentation, corner maintenance, rights-of-way surveys, boundary re-posting and blazing, records and reports, and geospatial data collection in support of federal land management activities, primarily across the Pacific Northwest and Northern forest regions. Work is performed at multiple national forests and ranger districts with administrative oversight at the Forest Service regional offices. The vendor's Professional Land Surveyor licensure requirement across multiple states (Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, California) and its geographic footprint across western United States forests and grasslands define its competitive moat and customer stickiness.
