Leonard Chauvin P.E P.l.s Inc.

Leonard Chauvin P.E P.L.S Inc., a for-profit professional services firm based in Thibodaux, Louisiana, provides boundary surveying and mapping services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under a single-award indefinite-delivery contract reserved for small business. The vendor operates exclusively in the federal space as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint, competing under the small-business set-aside on USDA conservation programs in Louisiana.

The vendor's customer concentration is singular and narrow. All three awards in the source data fund the Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, Southeast Region, and the combined potential value reaches $5.3 million. The vendor holds a single-award IDIQ valued at $5 million, effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, reserved for total small business and limited to NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping services). Two delivery orders have been issued against this vehicle to date. On August 28, 2025, USDA awarded a $167,891 firm fixed-price delivery order for FY 2025 Agricultural Conservation Easement Program–Wetland Reserve Easement surveys across Caldwell, Tensas, Catahoula, and Franklin Parishes, Louisiana, with completion on December 29, 2025. On January 14, 2026, a second delivery order valued at $155,760 covered ACEP-Wetland Reserve Easement surveys in Avoyelles, Concordia, and Catahoula Parishes, with completion scheduled for May 18, 2026. Both orders support conservation baseline conditions and legal boundary establishment for private easement properties.

Activity remains early-stage. Two awards were issued in 2025, one in 2026, with only $324 thousand obligated against the $5.3 million combined potential value — a 6% obligation rate suggesting limited draw-down to date. The vendor's work is geographically confined to Louisiana parishes in the USDA Southeast Region, with place of performance in Monroe and Columbia. Capability framing centers on Professional Land Surveyor-qualified boundary survey work under Architect-Engineer procedures, with documented Louisiana licensure and minimum one year of relevant easement surveying experience as contract requirements.

LJC utilizes a qualified staff that includes engineers, land surveyors, survey parties, CAD drafters, environmental professionals and administrative personnel. The firm provides and uses task-appropriate modern survey equipment such as Electronic Total Stations, G.P.S. receivers, Electronic Data Collection and processing, Civil 3-D and Auto Cad for preparation of survey data and design documents.

We work closely with other firms, contractors and engineers for efficient project coordination and timely project completion, providing both engineering and surveying services.
