Horizon Environmental Services, Inc.

Horizon Environmental Services, Inc., a woman-owned small business and veteran-owned business based in Durango, Colorado, provides noxious weed survey, inventory, treatment, and invasive species management services to federal land agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly on small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The vendor is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and holds a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service for integrated land management resources services through March 2033, substantially anchoring its federal footprint.

Horizon's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior across regional offices. The top five customer agencies account for 84% of recent award count, led by USDA Forest Service R2-Rocky Mountain Region (26 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value) and R3-Southwestern Region (15 awards, $1.7 million combined potential value), with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (12 awards, $5.6 million combined potential value), Bureau of Land Management Colorado Region (8 awards, $118 thousand), and National Park Service Intermountain Region (6 awards, $200 thousand) rounding out active federal customers. However, the potential-value ranking diverges sharply — the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions accounts for just one award but carries $50 million in combined potential value through the national BPA, representing 80% of Horizon's total combined potential value across all awards. This concentrates recompete risk in a single vehicle; outside the BPA's $50 million commitment through 2033, Horizon's remaining $12.8 million in combined potential value spreads across smaller regional task orders and delivery orders.

Horizon operates across five primary indefinite delivery contracts. The $50 million USDA Forest Service Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA (awarded November 2023, running through March 2033) is the dominant vehicle. Smaller IDCs include a $249 thousand San Juan National Forest weed inventory and treatment contract expiring May 31, 2025, and regional Forest Service and Bureau of Reclamation IDCs in the $93 thousand to $2 million range. Work on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule includes a $109 thousand restoration delivery order with the National Park Service for field conversion and herbicide application at Aztec Ruins National Monument (through December 2027) and a closed-out $156 thousand revegetation delivery order with the Federal Highway Administration for Cottonwood Pass in Colorado. Capability work centers on noxious weed surveys and inventories (typically 2,600 acres per order), invasive species treatment and control, habitat restoration, revegetation, and erosion management across Colorado and New Mexico national forests, national monuments, and BLM lands. Representative 2023–2024 work includes a $95 thousand Little Jackson Mountain weed control project, a $93 thousand project for noxious weed inventory and treatment on 379 acres, and a $49 thousand Bear Creek invasive species task order. A $59 thousand purchase order awarded in April 2026 for 2,600 acres of noxious weed survey on the Conejos Peak Ranger District in Rio Grande National Forest represents the most recent prime award.

Activity has been episodic — one award in 2021, three in 2022, six in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026 — with only two awards (combined potential value $169 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. The BPA's long runway through 2033 substantially reduces near-term recompete pressure outside the vehicle itself. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold totaled $504 thousand across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $237 thousand with 1.0 FTEs; FY2023: $46 thousand with 0.3 FTEs; FY2024: $221 thousand with 1.2 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on prime records ran with a median of $91.88/hr, ranging from a 10th percentile of $74.67/hr to a 90th percentile of $108.57/hr. Horizon operates exclusively as a prime on its federal contracts and subcontracts to no other primes in the source data; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed 100% of contractor hours in-house with no subcontractor engagement.
