Miller, Shelia D

Miller, Shelia D, operating as Miller Lawn Service, is a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Ava, Missouri, that provides vegetation management, invasive species control, mowing, and landscaping services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The vendor operates exclusively in the prime role, with 100% of recent awards deriving from USDA Forest Service programs.

Miller Lawn Service exhibits narrow customer concentration, serving only two distinct USDA Forest Service divisions: the R9-Eastern Region (9 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value) and the broader Forest Service (4 awards, $74 thousand combined potential value), which together account for 100% of the vendor's award footprint. The majority of work flows through the Forest Service's 5-year $1.5 million MATOC (Multiple Award Task Order Contract) for non-native invasive species services reserved for small businesses, which has generated seven task orders totaling $118 thousand in combined potential value. Representative recent work includes a $25,320 delivery order awarded February 6, 2023, for the Glade Top, Brushy Creek, and Big Creek Basin Project 2023 NNIS Task Order under no set-aside designation; a pair of July 1, 2024, delivery orders for non-native invasive species and vegetation management services at Mark Twain National Forest's ACW Ranger District ($10,000 under total small business set-aside and $16,972 under full-and-open competition); and a $8,250 purchase order effective March 1, 2026, for weekly mowing and landscaping at the Ava office compound, set aside for total small business with performance through February 28, 2027.

Activity remains light and episodic, averaging slightly less than one award per year over the past five years — one award each in 2021, 2022, and 2023; two awards in 2024; one award in 2026. Combined potential value across all thirteen awards in the source data totals $1.7 million, with only $204 thousand obligated to date (12% of potential). Only one award ($8,250) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in that window. Capability footprint centers on NAICS 541620 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC codes for natural resources conservation, forest/range improvements, and landscaping/groundskeeping services, with work performance occurring at multiple Forest Service locations across southern Missouri, including Mark Twain National Forest ranger districts.
