Joseph M Rensing

Joseph M Rensing, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Breese, Illinois, operates as a prime contractor providing arboricultural and tree maintenance services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under total small business set-aside designations. The vendor specializes in tree trimming, removal, and vegetation management for federally managed properties and water resources infrastructure, with all fifteen awards in the source portfolio awarded as prime contracts — no subcontract activity.

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, with 100% of awards spanning three named offices: the Corps of Engineers Engineering District St. Louis (7 awards, $366 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers broadly (6 awards, $1.5 million combined potential value), and the Corps' Civil Works division (2 awards, $550 thousand combined potential value). Recent awards include a $65,000 BPA call order for tree maintenance at Carlyle Lake awarded February 13, 2026, a $30,000 call order for tree limb removal at Carlyle Lake awarded June 23, 2025, and a $100,000 delivery order for tree maintenance and removal at Carlyle Lake awarded June 5, 2024. All work is performed at Carlyle Lake in Carlyle, Illinois, in support of the Corps' civil works and environmental stewardship mission.

Rensing holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $1.225 million, awarded September 30, 2022, extending through September 29, 2027, that covers comprehensive tree maintenance, planting, and removal services at Carlyle Lake. Seven task orders have been issued against an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W912P919D0001) for $502 thousand combined potential value, and three task orders against the BPA (W912P922A0042) for $195 thousand combined potential value. The vendor's primary NAICS classification is Landscaping Services, with secondary work coded under Logging. Activity has remained sparse — one to two awards per year since 2021 — with only two awards (combined potential value $165 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined potential value across all fifteen awards totals $2.4 million, with $724 thousand obligated to date. Rensing has demonstrated consistent expertise with the Corps since 2009, with prior delivery orders ranging from approximately $10,000 to $108,285.
