William Noble

William Noble, doing business as Noble Landscapping, a Kentucky-based small business sole proprietorship, provides grounds maintenance, mowing, landscaping, and facilities upkeep services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open on delivery orders against indefinite delivery contracts it holds, with set-aside designations appearing on approximately one-third of recent awards; the vendor is not a certified 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other formal SBA category holder but qualifies as a small business under the Small Business Administration size standards.

Noble Landscapping's customer base is entirely concentrated within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across two administrative lines — the Engineering District Louisville and the broader Department of the Army Corps of Engineers entity — accounting for 100% of awards across 120 prime contracts since November 2010. The Engineering District Louisville alone anchors 77 awards ($6.5 million combined potential value), while the broader Corps line carries 41 awards ($3.1 million combined potential value). Work is performed entirely at Corps-managed recreational facilities and water resources infrastructure in the Kentucky region, primarily Buckhorn Lake (127 acres of landscaping and grounds upkeep) and Cave Run Lake, with occasional work at other regional sites. Representative delivery orders include a $143,890 firm fixed-price order (May–September 2025) for Buckhorn Lake mowing and maintenance, a $141,730 order (May–September 2023) for comparable services, and a $122,220 order (June–September 2024) for seasonal grounds maintenance — all seasonal task orders ranging from $4,400 to $148,980 per delivery order. The vendor also holds three active indefinite delivery contracts: a $1,279,230 Total Small Business set-aside IDC through December 2028 for Buckhorn Lake maintenance (awarded March 2024), a $245,436 IDC for Cave Run Lake services (awarded April 2023, now expired or expiring August 2023), and a third smaller vehicle. Since 2010, the vendor has completed 120 awards with combined potential value of $9.9 million, with $4.3 million obligated (44% of potential value).

Noble Landscapping places the majority of its task order volume under five parent indefinite delivery contracts: Indefinite Delivery Contract W912QR19D0011 (27 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value), W912QR14D0016 (25 task orders, $1 million), W912QR11D0009 (23 task orders, $646 thousand), W912QR24D0026 (14 task orders, $568 thousand), and W912QR15D0011 (5 task orders, $157 thousand). Scope is classified under NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and PSC 3513 (Housekeeping—Landscaping/Groundskeeping), with 114 of 120 awards under the landscaping PSC code. The vendor self-performs all work without subcontractors and has no federal grant awards, sub-award activity, or involvement with parent primes. Activity has remained flat in recent years — 8 awards in 2022–2023, declining to 6 in 2024–2025 and 3 in early 2026 — with only one award ($35 thousand combined potential value) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, suggesting minimal near-term recompete exposure. The Buckhorn Lake IDC (the largest single vehicle at $1.28 million) runs through December 2028 and has generated eleven delivery orders totaling approximately $539,210 since March 2024, with task order activity distributed through 2026.
