Lander Group LLC

Lander Group LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Chelsea, Maine, operates as a prime contractor delivering grounds maintenance, landscaping, janitorial services, and facility construction work to federal agencies, with 100% of recent awards executed as prime rather than subcontractor. The company holds active SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business through September 30, 2027, and is structured as a limited liability company and sole proprietorship. Lander Group competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides, though it also pursues full-and-open delivery orders; SDVOSB set-aside language appears across roughly 50% of named recent awards.

Lander Group's federal footprint is almost entirely concentrated in cemetery and facilities maintenance. The vendor holds five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration, with combined ceiling values exceeding $9.7 million. The largest is a $3,102,384 IDIQ awarded June 15, 2023, with ultimate completion June 14, 2028, for comprehensive grounds maintenance at Western New York National Cemetery covering mowing, trimming, debris removal, tree care, irrigation management, turf replacement, grave excavation, niche installations, and facility repairs. A second SDVOSB-set-aside IDIQ valued at $1,618,808 was awarded September 1, 2024, for grounds maintenance at Western New York National Cemetery, Corfu, New York, through August 31, 2029. A third IDIQ of $958,380 awarded June 1, 2025, covers grounds maintenance for a base period and four one-year option periods at multiple VA national cemetery locations through November 30, 2030. A $1,844,039 IDIQ awarded August 4, 2022, provided for total grounds maintenance services at VA cemeteries nationwide through July 31, 2026. A $26,400 IDIQ awarded April 1, 2023, funds mowing, trimming, and debris removal at Mt. Pleasant Soldiers Lot locations in Sidney and Chelsea, Maine, and Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, through March 31, 2028. Recent delivery orders under these vehicles range from $1,874 to $577,336, with most falling between $5,000 and $250,000. Representative awards include a $577,336 definitive SDVOSB-set-aside contract for janitorial services at Western New York National Cemetery through April 30, 2028; a $280,901 definitive SDVOSB Sole Source contract for headstone setting construction at Western New York National Cemetery running August 15, 2024 through January 16, 2026; a $228,717 definitive SDVOSB Sole Source contract for headstone setting construction at Western New York National Cemetery through February 22, 2027; a $232,669 delivery order for total grounds maintenance at Bay Pines National Cemetery, Florida, running August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2027; and a $552,362 construction contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 for boiler plant stack pad repair at the VA Medical Center Maine Healthcare System campus in Augusta, Maine, awarded May 7, 2024.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration drives 158 of 203 awards (78%) with $46 million combined potential value. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 accounts for 25 awards with $84.6 million potential value, anchored by the medical-center boiler repair contract and related facility maintenance work. The Department of the Air Force Air National Guard accounts for 9 awards with $2.9 million potential value. Together, these three entities account for 98% of award count and represent the bulk of Lander Group's federal business. The vendor serves nine distinct agencies overall, but only VA National Cemetery Administration and VA Veterans Health Administration projects meaningful scale. The divergence between award-count and potential-value rankings reflects the boiler-plant and VA medical facility contracts pulling potential-value share toward Veterans Health Administration, while National Cemetery Administration maintains volume dominance through numerous smaller task orders.

Lander Group holds seats on five active IDIQs with the National Cemetery Administration: contract 36C78619D0141 (29 task orders, $3.5 million combined potential), contract 36C78621D0096 (29 task orders, $2.8 million), contract 36C78620D0119 (18 task orders, $951 thousand), contract 36C78620D0075 (14 task orders, $1.4 million), and contract 36C78622D50104 (11 task orders, $1 million). These vehicles enable recurring task orders for cemetery maintenance and operational support across the VA's national cemetery network.

Activity has declined from a 2024 peak of 28 awards to 14 awards year-to-date in 2026 (through September 1). Awards averaged 23 per year over the five-year window 2022–2026. Eight awards with combined potential value of $1.2 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure — principally among the active National Cemetery Administration IDIQs and one Veterans Health Administration facility maintenance contract.

Lander Group operates as a direct-labor delivery model with no named subcontractors across its federal footprint. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures only $1.5 million in prime invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025, representing contracts above the $150,000 threshold; this is a partial and undersized view of the vendor's federal services revenue and does not reflect the vendor's full federal or enterprise activity. SCI-reported FTE staffing ranged from 0.3 FTEs (FY2023) to 2.3 FTEs (FY2022) on SCI-reportable contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ran a median of $88.66/hr, with 10th percentile at $59.41/hr and 90th percentile at $1,770.69/hr — the upper outlier reflects high-value construction or specialized labor. Lander Group performs work without subcontractors across both SCI-reportable and task-order-based delivery models.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrow and deeply specialized: cemetery grounds maintenance (mowing, trimming, debris removal, tree care, irrigation management, turf replacement, grave excavation, niche installation, snow removal, debris hauling), janitorial and custodial services, headstone setting and cemetery construction, and general facility maintenance and repair. The top NAICS is Landscaping Services (148 awards), with Commercial and Institutional Building Construction second (20 awards). The top PSC is Housekeeping-Landscaping/Groundskeeping (152 awards). Lander Group has established itself as the National Cemetery Administration's primary grounds maintenance service provider across its network of national cemeteries, with documented tenure since at least 2005 registration in SAM.gov.
