Holt Gilmour Survey Associates LLC

Holt Gilmour Survey Associates LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Woodstock, Vermont, delivers cadastral surveying and land boundary survey services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The firm specializes in boundary delineation, corner searches, monumentation, and surveys supporting federal land and resource management, with all twelve recent awards sourced from the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Customer concentration is narrow and concentrated in northeastern federal land management. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region) accounts for nine awards valued at $1.8 million combined potential value, while the NRCS Northeast Region accounts for three awards valued at $3.1 million combined potential value — collectively representing 100% of recent activity. The NRCS work reflects a newer vehicle: a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded December 30, 2025, with a $3 million ceiling, running through December 29, 2026, set aside for total small business to provide professional land surveying services across National Forests in nine eastern states. Two delivery orders have issued under this IDIQ to date: an $83,742 firm fixed-price order for a boundary survey supporting Sunne LLC's Agricultural Conservation Easement Program enrollment (completion May 30, 2026) and a $28,009 order for a legal boundary survey of 63.38 acres in Perry, Rutland County, Vermont (completion May 31, 2026).

The Forest Service relationship rests on two older IDIQs. A $1.5 million single-award contract (IDC 12445521D0004, August 16, 2021, through August 15, 2026) generated eight delivery orders totaling $279 thousand in combined potential value for cadastral surveys across Green Mountain National Forest and other northeastern locations. Representative work includes a $51,531.50 firm fixed-price delivery order for the West River Timber Sale cadastral survey in Manchester, Vermont (awarded July 21, 2022), a $46,781 order for boundary marking to support Green Mountain National Forest timber sale planning (awarded September 4, 2023), and an $11,500 order for remonumentation of 23 missing monuments along the Appalachian Trail corridor in Mendon, Vermont (awarded September 18, 2023). A second Forest Service vehicle (IDC 12FPC326D0007) generated two delivery orders totaling $112 thousand. Recent Forest Service awards from 2026 include a $88,962.34 delivery order for surveying 5.781 miles of boundary line and 0.25 mile of roadway easement at Green Mountain National Forest (awarded March 17, 2026) and a $24,141.35 delivery order for cadastral survey supporting the Blue Ridge timber sale easement (awarded June 26, 2026).

Activity averaged 2.4 awards annually over the past five years, with four awards in 2026 following a gap in 2024. Only two awards — combined potential value $113 thousand — face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The firm operates exclusively in NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services), with work performed in Vermont, Minnesota, and subordinate locations across northeastern National Forests.
