Pullig Contracting Co

Pullig Contracting Co., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Miles, Texas, provides herbicide application, pesticide services, and vegetation management to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor exclusively—all 112 awards in the source are prime contracts and IDCs with no subcontract footprint. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation specializing in invasive plant and pest control at federal water resource facilities, competing predominantly under total small business set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open procurements.

Pullig's customer concentration is extreme and unchanging: 99% of recent awards by count flow to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, split between the agency's national headquarters (57 awards, $8.3 million combined potential value) and the Engineering District Fort Worth regional office (47 awards, $10.3 million). The dollar rankings track identically—Fort Worth district anchors both volume and value. Three Air Force awards totaling $127 thousand represent the only non-Corps exposure in the portfolio. This concentration reflects Pullig's specialized position in lake and reservoir vegetation management across central and West Texas locations including Proctor Lake, Whitney Lake, Waco Lake, Navarro Mills Lake, Aquilla Lake, O.C. Fisher Lake, and Hord's Creek Lake.

Capability work is narrow and recurring. Representative prime awards include a $51,100 delivery order from USACE for West Texas herbicide and pesticide application at Coleman, Texas, completed August 30, 2026; a $224,006 purchase order for pesticide and herbicide application at Aquilla Lake, awarded September 3, 2025, completed November 1, 2025; and a $109,650 delivery order for herbicide and vegetation management across Proctor, Hord's Creek, and O.C. Fisher Lakes, awarded July 7, 2025, completed October 31, 2025. All delivery orders operate under firm-fixed-price terms. The company's NAICS footprint reflects this focus: 65 awards under 541900 (Landscaping Services), 38 under 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services), and support categories. PSC coding confirms the pattern—50 awards under Housekeeping/Landscaping/Groundskeeping, 34 under Other Environmental Services, and 17 under Natural Resources/Conservation–Aerial Fertilization/Spraying.

Pullig holds multiple parent IDCs with USACE spanning regional lake systems. The five largest vehicles by task-order count include Indefinite Delivery Contract W9126G16D0007 (21 task orders, $903 thousand combined potential value), W9126G22D0043 (17 task orders, $606 thousand), W9126G19D0014 (15 task orders, $486 thousand), W9126G18D0019 (12 task orders, $497 thousand), and W9126G14D0032 (11 task orders, $856 thousand). A newer $500,000 total small business set-aside IDC awarded October 1, 2024, for Three Rivers Regional Lakes herbicide and vegetation management runs through September 30, 2027, and has generated four delivery orders totaling $385,160 as of October 2025. The $2,000,000 IDC covering multiple central Texas lakes (W9126G22D0043) expired July 6, 2025, exposing the company to recompete activity on that vehicle's successor.

Activity has remained stable at six to ten awards per year over the past five years (2022–2025), with a single $51,100 award recorded in the current 2026 cycle. Only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months appears in the recompete cliff—a $51 thousand potential value—suggesting most active IDCs either have extended performance periods or have already rolled over to successor vehicles. Combined potential value across the 112-award portfolio is $18.7 million, with $4.8 million obligated (26% utilization), indicating substantial unfilled order books on parent contracts. The company's regional familiarity with USACE lake management across Texas and its sole focus on vegetation and pest control for federal water resource projects create deep customer lock-in but narrow diversification.
