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, competing as a prime contractor on federal awards almost exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. NRP is headquartered in West St. Paul and delivers concrete services in prescribed burning, hazardous fuels reduction, mechanical and chemical vegetation control, herbicide application, invasive species management, and habitat restoration across national forests and wildlife refuges. The vendor's footprint is anchored to natural resources and conservation work under primary NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 36 of 42 recent awards classified under that code.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3, which accounts for 8 awards carrying $50.4 million in combined potential value—62% of NRP's total exposure. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service (across multiple regions) represents nine awards with $212 thousand combined value across the Eastern Region (R9) and $272 thousand across the Pacific Southwest Region (R5); the Army Corps of Engineers holds three awards valued at $9.5 million. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 98% of NRP's combined potential value across 21 of 42 awards, signaling tight customer concentration and material exposure to Fish and Wildlife Service renewal and recompete cycles.

NRP holds five parent IDVs anchoring its primary vehicle posture. The National Hazardous Fuels Reduction 2024–2029 Blanket Purchase Agreement (DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3) carries a $49.5 million ceiling with multiple-award status and has generated three task orders totaling $279 thousand; this vehicle was awarded April 3, 2024 with ultimate completion March 31, 2029. A $9.5 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (MATOC) with the Army Corps of Engineers for forest management prescriptions and vegetative maintenance services was awarded December 12, 2025 with completion July 6, 2028. NRP also holds a $7.5 million single-award Forest Inventory and Analysis Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service Research Service Northern Research Station (awarded August 15, 2025, completing December 15, 2029), a $1.7 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Central Region for prescribed burning on conservation easement properties (awarded September 11, 2025, completing September 10, 2030), and a $9 million single-award Forest Inventory and Analysis BPA with the Forest Service Northern Research Station (awarded September 28, 2022, completing July 31, 2025). An older $250 thousand Indefinite Delivery Contract for water handling to support fire suppression (USDA Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center) is near completion (May 30, 2025). The vendor also holds a role on the Forest Services Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) on-ramp program for Native Resources through the Army Corps of Engineers, generating a $2,500 delivery order in January 2026.

Activity has been uneven year over year: 11 awards in 2022, declining to 6 in 2023, recovering to 12 in 2024, then dropping to 9 in 2025, with 1 award in the first half of 2026. Combined potential value across all 42 prime awards totals $80.3 million, but only $4.5 million (6%) has been obligated, indicating a heavy concentration of ceiling value in newly awarded or recently competed IDVs awaiting task order drawdown. Only four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $322 thousand, suggesting limited near-term recompete pressure but material vehicle renewal exposure beginning in late 2027 and 2028 when the $49.5 million Fish and Wildlife Service BPA and the $9.5 million Army Corps IDC approach their final year.

NRP competes exclusively as a prime; there are no sub-awards in the source data. The vendor delivers work across fifteen distinct federal agencies, with geographic performance spanning the contiguous United States and Guam. Representative recent awards include $193.9 thousand (September 2024) for hazardous fuels reduction at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge, Zimmerman, Minnesota; $259.8 thousand (May 2024) for hazardous fuels reduction and firebreaks at the same refuge; $173.8 thousand (August 2024) for tree and woody vegetation removal at Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge, Mentor, Minnesota; and $105.3 thousand (June 2024) for woody vegetation removal at Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Bloomington, Minnesota. These awards typify NRP's work: place-based, habitat-focused ecological restoration on federal lands under Total Small Business set-asides, with contract values ranging from low five figures to mid-six figures per task order, though IDV ceilings aggregate significantly higher.
