John Shorb Landscaping Inc.

John Shorb Landscaping Inc. Main Office Division operates as a for-profit prime contractor delivering landscaping maintenance, grounds beautification, snow and ice removal, and tree care services to federal agencies in the National Capital Region, competing exclusively in full-and-open federal procurement without set-aside designations. Headquartered in Kensington, Maryland, the company has held federal contractor registration since February 2002 and performs work directly as a prime with no subcontracting footprint across a 307-award portfolio spanning 22 customer agencies.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on grounds and landscape maintenance work grounded in concrete federal delivery. Representative recent work includes a $490 thousand delivery order from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for snow and ice removal services running through September 2026 under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $278 thousand delivery order from GSA's Public Buildings Service National Capital Region for additional landscaping services across multiple buildings; a $237 thousand delivery order for White House complex holiday decorations (Jackson Place, New Executive Office Building, and Eisenhower Executive Office Building) under the GSA MAS running through October 2027; and a $174 thousand delivery order from the National Gallery of Art for weeding services through March 2026. Smaller awards across the portfolio range from snow removal, tree removal, pruning, planting, interior plantscape maintenance, and landscape beautification at federal facilities throughout the region.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to GSA facilities management. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 58% of all awards, led by GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region (101 awards, $16.2 million combined potential value) and GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing (21 awards, $15.9 million). By potential value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the portfolio at $27.6 million on a single award, followed by the same two regional GSA entities. The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing accounts for 15 awards ($1.2 million), the National Gallery of Art for 8 awards ($364 thousand), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for 3 awards ($1 million). This concentration reflects John Shorb's geographic and mission specialization in National Capital Region federal property maintenance.

The vendor sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 52 task orders carrying $23.6 million in combined potential value, the primary vehicle for customer reach across multiple federal agencies. The company also holds an indefinite delivery contract (47PM0920D0001) with GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region valued at up to $4.8 million and running through November 2024, from which 40 task orders have been issued totaling $2.4 million in combined potential value. Additional IDCs include contract 47PM0618D0006 with 7 task orders ($451 thousand). Activity has declined modestly in recent years—nine awards in 2022, ten in 2023, eight in 2024, and six in 2025—with only one award recorded in the first five months of 2026. Four awards (combined potential value $942 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest near-term recompete exposure.

John Shorb Landscaping operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontracting role across its federal portfolio. The company's award footprint spans primary NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services, 279 awards) and 541320 (Landscape Architectural Services, 16 awards), with secondary work in facilities support. Top procurement service codes reflect the operational scope: Housekeeping—Landscaping/Groundskeeping (272 awards) and Housekeeping—Snow Removal/Salt (13 awards). Combined potential value across all 307 awards totals $101.2 million, with $46.3 million obligated to date, representing a 46% obligation rate characteristic of multi-year delivery orders and MAS task orders with remaining option periods.
