Lawson Ridge, Inc.

Lawson Ridge, Inc., doing business as Lawson Ridge Native Landscaping, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Amery, Wisconsin, that provides hazardous fuels reduction, brush grinding, land clearing, and firebreak installation services to the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service exclusively as a prime contractor. The firm operates entirely in the hazardous fuels reduction and vegetation management space, with all 76 awards issued since 2004 to Fish and Wildlife Service regional offices under multiple indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements.

Lawson Ridge's customer concentration is absolute. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service accounts for 100% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards. Within that single customer, three regional entities dominate: Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 anchors $49.5 million (97% of total portfolio value) through a March 29, 2024 BPA with a ceiling running through March 31, 2029 for hazardous fuels reduction services across Service-managed lands in the contiguous United States and Guam; Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 has placed 19 awards worth $1 million combined potential value, primarily delivery orders for brush grinding at St. Croix Wildlife Management District and adjacent properties near New Richmond, Wisconsin; and the broader Fish and Wildlife Service organization has issued six awards totaling $560 thousand.

Lawson Ridge places all of its work through Fish and Wildlife Service vehicles: the National Hazardous Fuels Reduction 2024–2029 BPA (of which the vendor holds two positions, INF301818A006 with eight task orders and INF301818A014 with five task orders), two indefinite delivery contracts (140F0320D0001 with six task orders valued at $280 thousand, and INF16PC00060 with four task orders valued at $141 thousand), and additional BPAs (INF301817A031 with five task orders). Representative work includes a $22.5 thousand Total Small Business BPA call issued August 12, 2026 for mechanical hazardous fuels reduction and firebreak installation at St. Croix Wildlife Management District under the National Hazardous Fuels Reduction master agreement, an $80 thousand land clearing and firebreak installation BPA call from July 16, 2025 (also at St. Croix), and recurring brush grinding delivery orders from June 2024 through September 2023 ranging from $39,991 to $60,000. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 44 of 76 awards classified under that code; additional work falls under logging, site preparation contracting, and timber tract operations. The combined obligated amount across all awards is only $920 thousand against $51.4 million in potential value, indicating that the bulk of the portfolio consists of task order vehicles with ceiling values rather than fully obligated contracts. Activity has been sporadic in recent years — one award in 2026, one in 2025, two in 2024 — with only $23 thousand in recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months. All work is performed at Fish and Wildlife Service properties in Wisconsin and other contiguous U.S. locations and Guam, with place of performance specified by individual task order.
