Manford C Glock

Manford C Glock, doing business as Progressive Pest Management, is a sole proprietorship based in Sparks, Nevada, that provides herbicide application and invasive weed treatment services to the Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime across 21 awards under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and has no subcontract footprint.

Progressive Pest Management's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer: the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Nevada Region, which accounts for all 21 awards and the full $2.6 million in combined potential value. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on ground-based herbicide application targeting invasive weed species—scotch thistle, Canada thistle, hoary cress, Russian knapweed, and perennial pepperweed—across rangeland and public lands in Elko County, Nevada. Representative work includes a $224.7 thousand contract for Grindstone Herbicide Weeds Treatment (2,277 acres, awarded April 2023), a $198.2 thousand award for Tabor Flats Herbicide Weed Treatment (2,914 acres, awarded April 2024), and a $153.7 thousand Goshutes Fuels Reduction Treatment contract covering 1,971 acres (awarded July 2025). All awards carry either a total small business set-aside or no set-aside designation; the vendor competes exclusively under small business carve-outs. Contracts typically require a current Nevada Professional Applicator License (Agricultural Ground B2), GPS data collection, quality control, and pesticide application records within 24 hours of treatment, with payment contingent upon treating at least 95 percent of target species.

Activity has remained relatively steady at three to six awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with only one award in 2026 year-to-date as of the source snapshot date. The vendor faces minimal near-term recompete exposure—only one award (valued at $55 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. All work is performed in Elko County, Nevada, with seasonal performance windows typically running June through July or September through October. The vendor's entire customer and revenue base depends on continued BLM Nevada Region contracting; no diversification across other federal agencies or customer vehicles is evident in the award record.
