New England Forestry Consultants, Inc.

New England Forestry Consultants, Inc., doing business as Nefco, is a small-business prime contractor based in Bristol, New Hampshire, that provides chemical vegetation control, herbicide application, and invasive species treatment services to federal agencies across New England, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides on the majority of its work. The vendor operates across NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 561711 (Support Activities for Forestry), with primary PSC coding in Housekeeping–Landscaping/Groundskeeping and Natural Resources/Conservation categories.

Nefco's customer base is concentrated in regional agencies managing water resources and conservation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New England District dominates the portfolio at 39 awards worth $1.5 million combined potential value—representing 65% of all awards and 58% of total potential value. The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Northeast Region ranks second with 6 awards valued at $666 thousand, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region contributes 13 awards worth $425 thousand. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 and a subsidiary Army Corps office round out the five-agency customer set, accounting for the remaining dollar and award shares. This concentration reflects Nefco's regional specialization and established relationships with federal land and water management agencies.

Nefco holds multiple blanket purchase agreements with USACE New England District, each carrying a $250,000 ceiling. The top two vehicles—BPA W912WJ23A0015 (12 task orders, $122 thousand) and BPA W912WJ20A0001 (11 task orders, $98 thousand)—anchor recurring work in the Upper and Lower Connecticut River Basin regions across New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (AG24H8C110004) issued by the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service carries 9 task orders worth $98 thousand. These vehicles enable the Corps and NRCS to issue recurring small-dollar calls for herbicide treatment, invasive species spraying, stump removal, and boundary maintenance at specific facilities—Ball Mountain Lake, Townshend Lake, North Hartland Lake, Birch Hill Dam, Tully Lake, Union Village Dam, Franklin Falls Dam, and Hopkinton Everett Lakes, among others. Representative recent awards include a $20.8 thousand January 2026 BPA call for chemical vegetation control at Ball Mountain Lake and Townshend Lake; a $66.9 thousand January 2025 purchase order for herbicide treatment across 135 acres at Franklin Falls Dam and Blackwater Dam; and a $33.7 thousand January 2025 purchase order covering 78 acres of vegetation management at the Hopkinton Everett Lakes Project.

Activity has averaged 6.4 awards per year over the past five years, with 2025 showing a modest uptick to 8 awards before declining to 2 in 2026 (a reflection of source currency rather than trend). Nefco operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Two BPA awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $29 thousand, representing minimal recompete exposure in that window. Combined potential value across all 60 awards totals $2.6 million, with $1.3 million obligated to date—a 51% obligation rate indicating steady drawdown against BPA and IDC ceilings. The vendor's work scope spans total small business set-asides consistently, with occasional full-and-open awards, and includes forestry consultation, environmental management, and land treatment services focused on water resource infrastructure maintenance and ecological restoration across the Northeast.
