About the company
Kpem LLC, a women-owned small business certified as an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) based in La Porte, Indiana, provides invasive species control, vegetation management, and habitat restoration services to federal land agencies as a prime contractor, competing entirely under total small business set-asides across a diverse portfolio of federal customers.
The company's capability portfolio centers on mechanical and chemical invasive species removal, herbicide application, hazardous fuels reduction, boundary clearing and maintenance, and ecological restoration. Representative work includes a $707,142.85 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Chicago District) for herbicide application services at the Des Plaines River Barrier Fence facility in Romeoville, Illinois, with completion through August 2027; a $601,956.19 definitive contract from the Army Corps of Engineers for herbicide spraying services across nine recreation areas and locks and dams (11–22) on the Mississippi River with completion through April 2029; and a $299,475 purchase order from USDA Forest Service Region 9 for non-native invasive plant herbicide treatment on Superior National Forest in Minnesota, covering approximately 121 acres across 200 miles of roads and trails, with performance through October 2030 under a base year plus four option years.
Customer concentration sits heavily with federal land and installation management agencies. The top five customers by award count—the Army Corps of Engineers (12 awards, $7.4 million combined potential value), USDA Forest Service Region 9 (8 awards, $516 thousand), Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region (8 awards, $694 thousand), National Park Service Midwest Region (4 awards, $233 thousand), and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (3 awards, $410 thousand)—account for 69% of all awards. However, potential-value concentration diverges sharply: USDA Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions anchors the portfolio with a single $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources BPA awarded June 2, 2026, and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 holds a $49.5 million National Hazardous Fuels Reduction 2024–2029 BPA awarded March 29, 2024, together representing 98% of combined potential value across just two awards.
Kpem holds four significant IDVs. The USDA Forest Service Land Management Integrated Resources BPA ($50 million, multiple award, through March 2033) covers professional services, natural resources restoration, engineering, project management, data management, and plant material production across work locations nationwide under NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services). The Fish and Wildlife Service National Hazardous Fuels Reduction 2024–2029 BPA ($49.5 million, multiple award, through March 2029) supports mechanical clearing, herbicide application, and habitat restoration across the contiguous United States and Guam; Kpem has placed four task orders under this vehicle totaling $504 thousand in potential value, including calls from Fish and Wildlife Service Regions 2 and 4 for fire thinning, prescribed fire, and mulching work at refuges in Texas, Arkansas, and Georgia. USDA Forest Service Region 8 awarded Kpem a $7.5 million vegetation management BPA (single award, through August 2030) for National Forests and Grasslands in Texas, addressing hurricane and flood-related vegetation concerns and Red-Cockaded Woodpecker habitat monitoring. The Army Corps of Engineers Kansas City District issued a $5 million landscape management BPA (multiple award, through September 2029) for mowing, trimming, herbicide application, tree planting, and boundary clearing at Southwest Missouri Operations Division projects including Harry S. Truman, Stockton, and Pomme de Terre Lakes. Kpem also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region ($250,790, total small business set-aside, through March 2027) for woody species and vegetation management at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin; four delivery orders have been issued against this vehicle since June 2022, ranging from $31,400 to $33,300.
Activity has been uneven: seven awards in 2022, five in 2023, nine in 2024, four in 2025, and eight through September 2026. Five awards with combined potential value of $1.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. Kpem operates solely as a prime contractor (100% of awards), with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor's work is concentrated in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services; 30 awards) and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry; 19 awards), with PSC codes dominated by Housekeeping–Landscaping/Groundskeeping (23 awards) and Natural Resources/Conservation classifications (8 awards for land treatment practices, 7 for other conservation, 4 for non-construction forest improvements, 3 for tree thinning).
