Rainbow Tree Company

Rainbow Tree Company, doing business as Rainbow Treecare, provides specialized arboricultural and tree maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, operating exclusively without set-aside designations across a small but stable customer base concentrated in the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration.

Rainbow Tree Company is a for-profit small business headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, with a subsidiary, Rainbow Treecare Scientific Advancements Inc., also listed as a for-profit manufacturer. The vendor competes full-and-open on all awards; no SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other designations) appear in the source. Concrete capability framing derives from the award portfolio: tree spraying, pest and disease control (particularly emerald ash borer management), tree maintenance, and general grounds upkeep for federal cemetery and landscaping customers. Work is performed at named locations including Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Concentration is extreme and narrow. The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration accounts for 10 of 13 total awards (92% of award count) and $890 thousand of $912 thousand combined potential value (98% of dollars). The Department of the Air Force Air National Guard has placed one purchase order ($15,474.35 for emerald ash borer treatment, completed September 2023), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service one unnamed award. Across thirteen total awards spanning the past five years, combined potential value sits at $912 thousand with $439 thousand obligated (48% realization rate).

Rainbow Treecare holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with the VA National Cemetery Administration. The primary vehicle, IDC 36C78619D0121, has generated six task orders carrying $390 thousand in combined potential value. A second vehicle, IDC 36C78625D50273, established September 18, 2025, through September 17, 2030, carries a $206,938.30 ceiling and has produced two task orders worth $79 thousand; a delivery order valued at $63,535.95 was awarded April 15, 2026, for tree services base year work at Fort Snelling, with completion targeted March 31, 2027. Earlier delivery orders under the primary vehicle include a $54,336 order (July 2023–July 2024, option year three), a $28,096 order (July 2022–July 2023), and a $20,386 order (July 2021–July 2022). Awards span NAICS 111420 (Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), with primary PSC coding under Housekeeping – Landscaping/Groundskeeping.

The vendor operates as a prime on all awards (13 of 13); no subcontractor footprint appears in the source. Activity has been modest and sporadic — one award each in 2021 and 2022, two in 2023, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with an average of $70 thousand per award. Two awards with combined potential value of $79 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore expose the vendor to recompete risk. The relationship with the VA National Cemetery Administration spans at least 2019 and has generated cumulative federal contract awards exceeding $400,000 since that date.
