Great Lakes Investment Property LLC

Great Lakes Investment Property LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Hanover, Pennsylvania, provides cemetery grounds maintenance, slope mowing, and related landscaping services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under SDVOSB set-asides. The firm is structured as a limited liability company and operates as a self-certified small disadvantaged business; recent awards show 37 of 38 primes under landscaping services (NAICS 561730, PSC S206) and one under janitorial services.

Customer concentration is extreme. The National Cemetery Administration accounts for 34 of 38 total awards (89% of awards) and $2.8 million of the combined $2.9 million potential value across all work. The Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District holds three additional awards worth $54 thousand, and the Army Corps of Engineers one award for $10 thousand — the remaining 11% of activity. The two rankings (award count and potential value) track identically, with no tension between volume and dollars.

Great Lakes holds five active single-award indefinite delivery contracts, all set-aside for SDVOSB firms with the exception of one Total Small Business set-aside held with Army Corps of Engineers. The largest parent vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C78620D0137 with the National Cemetery Administration, carrying 11 task orders and $434 thousand combined potential value. The same customer's IDCs 36C78624D50162 (Confederate Stockade General Maintenance, $130 thousand across six task orders through March 31, 2029), 36C78625D50526 (Northwoods National Cemetery grounds maintenance, $77 thousand across five task orders through September 29, 2030), and 36C78625D50295 (slope mowing at Natchez National Cemetery, $79 thousand across two task orders through May 31, 2030) follow. The Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District vehicle W912QR24D0043 (bushhogging and grounds maintenance at Barren River Lake, Glasgow, Kentucky, base year plus three options through April 30, 2027) accounts for three task orders and $32 thousand. Representative work includes $53,928 for total cemetery operations at Fort Missoula National Cemetery (SDVOSB set-aside delivery order, August 2026, ultimate completion July 31, 2027), $56,848 for slope mowing services at Natchez National Cemetery (SDVOSB set-aside delivery order, June 2026, completion May 31, 2027), $42,617 for grounds maintenance at Northwoods National Cemetery (SDVOSB set-aside delivery order, April 2026, completion April 16, 2027), and $222,813 for Mare Island Naval Cemetery grounds maintenance (SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract, December 2023, completion December 14, 2028). Work spans Wisconsin, Ohio, Mississippi, California, Kentucky, Montana, and Pennsylvania, with place of performance split between customer cemetery sites and the contractor's Hanover headquarters.

Activity has grown consistently from four awards in 2022 to nine in 2025, declining slightly to eight in 2026. Seven awards carrying combined potential value of $237 thousand reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, all against National Cemetery Administration IDCs and therefore eligible for recompete in that window. The contractor's portfolio encompasses grounds maintenance, slope mowing, janitorial services, septic vault maintenance, emergency tree removal, and cemetery operations; all work is performed in-house with no subcontract footprint. Great Lakes competes exclusively under SDVOSB set-asides and Total Small Business set-asides, with no full-and-open prime awards in the source.
