Lauder Enterprise LLC

Lauder Enterprise LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business limited liability company based in Alliance, Nebraska, delivers noxious weed and vegetation control services to federal land-management agencies as a prime contractor exclusively under small business set-asides. The firm operates under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and competes entirely within full-and-open small business competitions — all five recent awards carry either Total Small Business or no set-aside language, with the majority awarded as Total Small Business purchases.

Lauder's customer footprint is concentrated on two agencies. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) anchors the portfolio at four awards and $217 thousand combined potential value, focused on noxious weed treatment across Fort Pierre National Grassland and Halsey National Forest in South Dakota and Nebraska. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering District Omaha accounts for one award ($120.8 thousand) for total vegetative control on federal lands in Hot Springs, South Dakota. The two customer rankings are identical — Region 2 dominates both award count and dollars — with no vehicle concentration; all work flows through direct purchase orders.

Lauder's concrete service portfolio centers on spot treatment and broadcast herbicide application for invasive plant species (thistle, leafy spurge, Canada thistle, musk thistle, crown vetch, houndstongue, common mullein) on federal grasslands and forests, combined with GPS mapping and data submission to the Contracting Officer's Representative. Representative work includes a $72.4 thousand firm fixed price purchase order from USDA Forest Service Region 2 (awarded May 22, 2024, completed August 15, 2024) to scout, map, and apply herbicides on national forest lands in Nebraska under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $60 thousand purchase order from USDA Forest Service Region 2 (awarded September 1, 2025, completing August 31, 2026) for noxious weed spraying on approximately 3,000 acres of Fort Pierre National Grassland under wildfire-reduction and timber-production alignment with Executive Order 14225; and a $120.8 thousand firm fixed price purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers Omaha office (awarded May 25, 2026, running through April 29, 2029) for total vegetative and noxious weed control in Hot Springs, South Dakota.

Activity is sparse but recent — one award per year from 2023 through 2026 — with $254 thousand of the $338 thousand combined potential value already obligated. The vendor operates as a pure prime with no subcontract footprint and no position on government-wide vehicles or BPAs. All work is ground-based vegetation management on discrete federal land parcels, with places of performance across South Dakota and Nebraska.
