Rocky Mountain Ecology LLC

Rocky Mountain Ecology LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, New Mexico, delivers invasive species control, wildlife inventory and monitoring, environmental consulting, and natural resource restoration services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor (90% of recent awards) under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates primarily under NAICS codes 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), with contract values spanning from sub-$100 thousand task orders to a $50 million multiple-award blanket purchase agreement.

Rocky Mountain Ecology's customer base concentrates heavily on the U.S. Forest Service's Southwestern Region (Region 3), which accounts for 11 awards with $2.4 million in combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions anchors the portfolio with a single $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA (LMIR) awarded in August 2024, running through March 2033. The Department of the Interior, through the Bureau of Reclamation and Bureau of Land Management, represents the secondary customer set with four awards totaling $307 thousand. The top five customers by award count cover 90% of recent activity; the top-customer rankings diverge sharply by potential value due to LMIR's outsized ceiling relative to smaller regional Forest Service task orders.

Representative prime work includes a $190.6 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation (awarded March 2026) for invasive plant and aquatic weed control and 90% kill-rate achievement across approximately 100 acres at Navajo Dam through December 2030, with three annual mobilizations. Rocky Mountain Ecology holds a $1.75 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Forest Service Region 3 for Mexican Spotted Owl inventory and monitoring across national forests in Arizona and New Mexico through November 2027; three delivery orders totaling $274 thousand have issued against this IDIQ to date, including a $149.7 thousand order for Coconino National Forest MSO surveys (awarded March 2024) and a $133.9 thousand call for Santa Fe National Forest MSO surveys through December 2027 (awarded August 2025). The vendor also received an $80.6 thousand BPA call under LMIR for Mexican Spotted Owl inventory on the Carson National Forest's El Rito and Tres Piedras Ranger Districts through September 2027, and a $59.9 thousand heritage survey delivery order for the Pinal Reforestation Project (awarded August 2024). Activity has accelerated from one award in 2022 to four in 2024, though 2025-2026 slowed to five combined awards. Three awards with combined potential value of $364 thousand are due for completion or recompete within the next twenty-four months.

Rocky Mountain Ecology subcontracts to Bratslavsky Consulting Engineers, Inc. on National Ground Water Seepage Program biological surveys and Mesa Verde cactus surveys (two sub-awards, March 2025 and March 2026). The vendor also received one federal grant as prime recipient — a landscape-scale fire restoration planning project in the Ocate area (Mora and Colfax Counties, New Mexico) from Forest Service Region 3, awarded July 2021 with completion in August 2024. LMIR and the 2022 Mexican Spotted Owl Inventory and Monitoring IDIQ represent Rocky Mountain Ecology's primary parent vehicles; combined, they anchor roughly $52 million in ceiling value against which task orders and delivery orders flow through 2033. Work performance spans Arizona and New Mexico national forests, Bureau of Reclamation facilities, and Bureau of Land Management field offices, with operational scope tied to southwestern public lands and invasive-species or threatened-species management priorities.
