Marshland Equipment Rentals, L.L.C.

Marshland Equipment Rentals, L.L.C., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Bell City, Louisiana, operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) providing airboat rental services with qualified operators to federal agencies for wetland and coastal field operations. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, not under set-asides, though it holds a self-certification as a small disadvantaged business and is characterized by the primary NAICS category 532411 (Commercial Air, Rail, and Water Transportation Equipment Rental and Leasing).

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service Southeast Region accounts for 60 of 69 total awards (91% coverage) with $766 thousand in combined potential value, representing the vast majority of Marshland's federal footprint. The Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 delivered one significant award ($259,500 purchase order for ditch clean-out at McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, completed August 2025), and the Department of Energy's Office of Cyber Security appears on two small awards with no named dollar value. The vendor has worked with these three federal agencies as a prime; sub-award activity is minimal — only two sub-awards to Fluor Federal Petroleum Operations for Strategic Petroleum Reserve facilities row-clearing work (2024 and 2025) reflect any subcontractor footprint.

Marshland holds positions on four NRCS Southeast Region BPAs, which together account for all substantive task-order volume. The largest is BPA AG7217B140004 (23 task orders, $156 thousand combined potential value), the current five-year vehicle awarded September 16, 2024, expiring August 31, 2029. Two legacy BPAs — AG7217B090011 (20 task orders, $104 thousand) and 12FPC219A0007 (16 task orders, $135 thousand) — cover earlier ordering cycles. Marshland's work under these vehicles consists exclusively of airboat rentals with operators to support NRCS field reconnaissance, pre-construction surveying, construction stakeout and checks, and inspection activities for coastal restoration projects across Louisiana and adjacent wetland regions. Representative prime awards include a $43,440 firm fixed-price BPA call (July 2025, total small business set-aside) for airboat services supporting four NRCS construction projects (ME-42, Peconi, Forested Wetland Bottomland, LA-39); a $259,500 purchase order (August 2024, total small business set-aside) with Fish and Wildlife Service for ditch clean-out at McFaddin NWR in Texas; and a $21,120 BPA call (June 17, 2026) for airboat services supporting the ME-32 Marsh Creation project. The June 2026 award is the most recent.

Activity has declined in recent years. The vendor recorded four awards in 2021 and 2022 each, six in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 (year-to-date as of the source date). Combined potential value across all 69 awards stands at roughly $1 million, with $1.2 million in total obligated dollars, indicating invoice receipts exceeding posted ceilings. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (the $43 thousand recompete exposure), suggesting limited near-term recompete activity. The vendor registered in SAM.gov in 2006 and has maintained continuous NRCS engagement for coastal and wetland environmental field operations, positioning itself as a specialized logistics provider for federal agencies working in terrain where conventional transportation is impractical.
