Minister & Glaeser Surveying, Inc.

Minister & Glaeser Surveying, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged, veteran-owned business based in Vancouver, Washington, holds a strong federal surveying footprint as a prime contractor, operating across multiple Indefinite Delivery Vehicle positions with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. The company executes cadastral, boundary, topographic, and hydrographic surveys in support of federal land management and civil works programs across the Pacific Northwest and western United States, competing primarily under Total Small Business set-asides and unrestricted delivery orders.

Minister & Glaeser's federal customer concentration reflects a land-focused mission. The top five customer organizations account for 82 percent of recent awards by count, led by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (86 awards, $927 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (49 awards, $48 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region (23 awards, $32.4 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Portland (23 awards, $14.7 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Walla Walla (23 awards, $1 million combined potential value). Dollar concentration diverges sharply from volume concentration; the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions anchors 98 percent of combined potential value with a single $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement. Representative prime capability work includes a $427,261.31 delivery order from the Bureau of Land Management's Oregon-Washington Region for surveying services in the Northwest Oregon District (awarded May 14, 2026, due June 1, 2027), a $267,346 delivery order under the Inflation Reduction Act from the Forest Service for Mount Hood National Forest wilderness boundary services (awarded September 30, 2024, due August 30, 2025), and a $247,204.15 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers for hydraulic cross-section surveying of the Umatilla project in Pendleton, Oregon (awarded April 5, 2022, due September 30, 2022).

The vendor holds three active parent vehicles: a $25 million multiple-award Total Small Business–set-aside IDIQ with the Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region running through May 31, 2029; a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service for land management integrated resources services through March 6, 2033; and a $6 million single-award Total Small Business–set-aside IDIQ with the Army Corps of Engineers Portland District for topographic and real property boundary surveying through September 6, 2026. The Forest Service IDIQ carries the highest task-order volume and recency, with recent delivery orders for boundary cadastral surveys, Inflation Reduction Act–funded wilderness boundary marking, and Upper Canyon boundary line maintenance on the Willamette National Forest. The 31 historical task orders under Army Corps of Engineers contract W912EF04D0004 and the 25 under contract DACW6898D0001 demonstrate mature execution across the Corps' National Waterways Program, dam safety surveys, and hydraulic assessment work.

Activity has remained steady, with nine awards in 2022, three in 2023, eleven in 2024, three in 2025, and three in 2026 year to date. Combined potential value across all 248 awards stands at $101.7 million; obligated dollars total $13.9 million (14 percent realization). Five awards carrying combined potential value of $954 thousand reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and present recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS footprint centers on Surveying and Mapping Services (130 awards); the PSC portfolio emphasizes Architect and Engineering–General services (199 awards combined across two related codes) and Support–Professional Land Surveys–Cadastral work (40 awards). The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no recorded sub-award activity in the source data, reflecting a direct-to-customer surveying model across federal land agencies and civil works programs in the Pacific Northwest and intermountain West.
