Nicklaus ECM JV, LLC

Nicklaus ECM JV, LLC, an economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business (EDWOSB) and SBA 8(a) certified joint venture headquartered in Yuma, Arizona, holds a $49 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract as the prime contractor with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) National Office for environmental response and hazardous materials handling services across 14 western states. The vendor competes exclusively under EDWOSB and full-and-open set-asides; the overwhelming majority of its footprint derives from one master IDC awarded March 10, 2023, running through March 9, 2028, under which it has received 38 task orders carrying combined potential value of approximately $5 million.

Nicklaus ECM JV is a limited liability company and self-certified small disadvantaged business classified primarily under NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services, 750-employee size standard). All recent work falls under PSC environmental services codes. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on field-based environmental remediation—illegal dump site cleanups, abandoned vehicle and recreational vehicle removals, asbestos abatement, environmental sampling, CERCLA site assessments, groundwater remediation, and hazardous materials response—executed on public lands managed by BLM across the western United States. Representative delivery-order work includes a $1.27 million California Desert Abandoned Mine Lands Inventory project (BLM California Region, September 2024); a $483 thousand CERCLA San Joaquin National Monument vehicle and debris recovery task (BLM California Region, September 2024); a $429 thousand California Illegal Dump Response contract (BLM California Region, August 2023); and a $383 thousand Lost Creek lead remediation task order in Lane County, Oregon (BLM Oregon-Washington Region, August 2026). Most task orders carry firm fixed-price structures with ceiling values ranging from under $5 thousand to over $1 million.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographic. The BLM National Office anchors 91% of combined potential value ($49 million), while regional BLM field offices account for the remaining volume: the Colorado Region (14 awards, $227 thousand), Wyoming Region (8 awards, $820 thousand), California Region (6 awards, $2.6 million), and Oregon-Washington Region (3 awards, $786 thousand) together cover 85% of award count. The vendor serves eleven distinct federal agencies by count, but all material dollars flow through BLM. Activity has remained relatively flat year over year—ten awards in 2023, thirteen in 2024, eight in 2025, and eight in 2026—reflecting steady task-order issuance against the single master IDC rather than expansion into new vehicles or customers. Ten task orders carrying combined potential value of $2 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure. The vendor holds no subcontractor relationships and generates no sub-award footprint; it operates as a 100% prime contractor footprint.

Nicklaus ECM JV carries obligated dollars of $4.9 million against combined potential value of $54 million across all awards (9% obligation rate), indicating significant unexercised option value remaining on the BLM master IDC through its March 2028 expiration. The vendor's tight focus on a single customer and single master vehicle creates both stability—the IDC renewal represents the material recompete cliff—and concentration risk in competitive intelligence and teaming scenarios.
