New Eco, LLC

New Eco, LLC, based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that delivers forestry and ecological management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, specializing in timber stand improvement, tree planting, seedling protection, and natural resources restoration across national forests in the Great Lakes and Northeast regions. The company operates entirely as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, with most work flowing through Forest Service vehicles in the Eastern Region.

New Eco's customer base is heavily concentrated with the USDA Forest Service Eastern Region (Region 9), which accounts for 41 of 44 total awards (93% by count) and $14.7 million of combined potential value. The other three awards span the broader Department of Agriculture (one LMIR BPA call for $855 thousand), the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions (the flagship $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA), and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 (a $75 thousand forest restoration contract at Silvio O. Conte National Wildlife Refuge in Vermont). The sharp divergence between award count and potential value is driven by the single $50 million LMIR BPA held at Washington Office Acquisitions level; stripping that out, the Eastern Region dominates with nearly all operational volume and dollars.

New Eco holds four named parent vehicles. The Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA, a $50 million multiple-award vehicle awarded May 5, 2025, runs through March 2033 and anchors the largest ceiling. Three regional IDIQs and BPAs drive task-order activity: a $5.3 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for Forestwide Timber Stand Improvement on Hiawatha National Forest (single award, through August 2030), a $3 million tree planting IDC covering Hiawatha and Huron-Manistee National Forests (multiple award, through May 2030), and a $3 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for timber stand improvement on Chequamegon-Nicolet and Ottawa National Forests (multiple award, through October 2028). Task-order activity concentrates under the regional $3 million BPA (10 task orders, $619 thousand combined potential value) and the LMIR BPA (9 task orders, $1.6 million combined potential value).

New Eco's award activity has grown steadily — four awards in 2022 to twelve in 2026 year-to-date — with 44 total awards carrying $65.6 million in combined potential value. Only $3.6 million (6% of ceiling) has been obligated to date, indicating the portfolio remains largely unexecuted or early-stage. Recompete exposure is modest: eight awards with ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months carry $1.1 million in combined potential value. Work scope centers on support activities for forestry (38 awards), soil preparation and planting (4 awards), and nursery and tree production (2 awards); task-level work spans tree release, timber stand improvement, seedling planting and protection, brush removal, mechanical thinning, and seedling lifting and packing at nurseries. Representative recent work includes a $531 thousand LMIR BPA call for timber stand improvement and fuels reduction at Aurora, Minnesota (awarded June 4, 2026), a $298 thousand delivery order for timber stand improvement and site preparation on Hiawatha National Forest East Zone (awarded July 13, 2026), a $539 thousand purchase order for site preparation and timber stand improvement on Hiawatha National Forest (awarded August 6, 2024), and a $394 thousand definitive contract for tree seedling lifting and packing at J.W. Toumey Nursery on Ottawa National Forest (awarded September 4, 2025). Place of performance spans Wisconsin and Michigan national forests (Chequamegon-Nicolet, Hiawatha, Huron-Manistee, Ottawa) and extends to Minnesota and Vermont on select LMIR calls.
