Native Resource Preservation LLC

Native Resource Preservation LLC, doing business as NRP, is a Minnesota-based ecological restoration and natural resource management firm that operates as a for-profit limited liability company providing hazardous fuels reduction, prescribed burning, vegetation control, herbicide application, and habitat restoration services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor. NRP competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on purchase orders and BPA calls, though it also holds full-and-open IDCs and BPAs with the Forest Service and Fish and Wildlife Service. The company is headquartered in West St. Paul, Minnesota, with primary NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and operates across the contiguous United States and Guam.

NRP's customer base concentrates sharply in natural resource and environmental management at the Department of the Interior and Department of Agriculture. The top five funding agencies account for 67% of awards by count but represent 98% of combined potential value—a stark divergence that reflects NRP's reliance on a small number of high-value IDCs. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 leads both rankings with eight awards totaling $50.4 million in combined potential value, anchored by a $49.5 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for hazardous fuels reduction across the contiguous United States and Guam through March 31, 2029. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers contributes three awards worth $9.5 million, while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Research Service Northern Research Station holds two awards worth $7.8 million. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Eastern Region (Region 9) accounts for nine awards but only $212 thousand in combined potential value—a pattern of frequent small task orders against an IDC vehicle.

NRP holds six principal parent vehicles anchoring its federal footprint. The National Hazardous Fuels Reduction 2024–2029 BPA ($49.5 million ceiling, multiple-award, Total Small Business set-aside) is the dominant vehicle, with recent task orders including a $193.9 thousand hazardous fuels reduction purchase order at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge in Zimmerman, Minnesota (September 2024, completion February 2026) and a $259.8 thousand hazardous fuels reduction and firebreak construction purchase order at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge in Princeton, Minnesota (May 2024, completion February 2026). A Forest Inventory and Analysis BPA awarded by the Forest Service Research Service Northern Research Station carries a $7.5 million ceiling (August 2025, completion December 2029) for data collection across 24 states on privately owned lands. A separate Forest Inventory and Analysis BPA from the Forest Products Laboratory carries a $9 million ceiling (September 2022, completion July 2025). The Army Corps of Engineers awarded NRP a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (MATOC) valued at $9.5 million (December 2025, completion July 2028) for forest management prescriptions and vegetative maintenance services under Total Small Business set-aside. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Central Region issued a single-award IDC worth $1.7 million (September 2025, completion September 2030) for prescribed burning on wetland reserve easement properties across 46 Minnesota counties, with a minimum obligation of 5,500 acres burned annually and potential for up to 19,000 acres total. A Forest Service Eastern Region IDC ($250 thousand ceiling, June 2022) supports water handling for wildland fire suppression across Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9.

Activity has remained volatile. Awards per year tracked at eleven in 2022, dropping to six in 2023, rebounding to twelve in 2024, declining to nine in 2025, and showing only two in early 2026 (a snapshot window). Only three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing combined potential value of $217 thousand—minimal recompete exposure in that window, though NRP faces significant recompete risk on its marquee $49.5 million Fish and Wildlife Service hazardous fuels BPA expiring March 31, 2029. Recent representative work includes a $19,996 cattail-spraying purchase order from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service for Wetlands Reserve Program easements in six Minnesota counties (August 2026, completion October 2026) under Total Small Business set-aside; a $144,354 herbicide application BPA call at Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge (September 2025, completion August 2027); and a $64,975.50 dike preservation task order at Minnesota Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge (July 2025, completion July 2026). NRP operates as 100% prime contractor, with no recorded federal subcontract activity in the source data. Obligated dollars ($4.6 million) represent only 6% of combined potential value across all awards, signaling early-stage or task-order-driven execution across most vehicles.
