Helena Weed Control, LLC

Helena Weed Control, LLC is a for-profit small business based in Clancy, Montana, that specializes in noxious weed control and invasive plant management services for federal land management agencies. The company, registered in SAM.gov since September 2003, provides ground-based herbicide application and vegetation management services to support forest health and ecological restoration on public lands across the western United States. Helena Weed Control has established itself as a reliable contractor for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, particularly Region 1's Northern Region, where it has developed extensive experience addressing invasive species management across multiple national forests and ranger districts in Idaho and Montana.

Helena Weed Control has delivered a comprehensive array of noxious weed control and vegetation management services through numerous federal contract awards dating back several years. The company's work encompasses ground-based herbicide application, invasive plant spraying, and integrated vegetation treatment across national forests, ranger districts, recreational sites, and post-wildfire recovery areas. Services have been provided at multiple locations including the Helena-Lewis & Clark National Forest, Custer Gallatin National Forest, Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, Lolo National Forest, and various ranger districts such as Beartooth, Bozeman, Sioux, Ashland, and Missoula. Contract awards have supported diverse project objectives including standard land stewardship, timber harvest area restoration, post-wildfire recovery and invasive species management, trail and recreational area maintenance, and disaster relief efforts. Individual delivery orders have ranged in value from approximately $5,070 to $144,835, with several larger awards exceeding $130,000. All contract awards have been issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 Northern Region without small business set-aside designations on the delivery orders themselves, though many fall under larger set-aside IDV vehicles. Helena Weed Control has served as the prime contractor on all identified awards with no major subcontractors noted.

Helena Weed Control holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract with the USDA Forest Service Region 1 Northern Region, valued at $9,999,995 with a performance period extending from July 27, 2022 through March 31, 2027. This IDV contract utilizes a total small business set-aside designation and enables the Forest Service to procure noxious weed control and herbicide application services across Idaho and Montana as operational needs arise through multiple task orders. Under this primary IDV vehicle, Helena Weed Control has received numerous delivery orders for specific projects and geographic areas, with task order values ranging from approximately $5,000 to over $144,000. The scope of work under the IDV includes ground-based herbicide application, noxious weed spraying, vegetation management for forest health objectives, post-wildfire recovery treatments, and invasive species control on timber sales, roads, trails, and recreational areas throughout the Northern Region's jurisdiction. The company's performance under this IDV has been consistent and productive, with task orders issued regularly across multiple years for projects addressing emerging land management needs related to forest stewardship, ecological restoration, and disaster recovery in Montana's and Idaho's national forests.
