Royal Tree Service LLC

Royal Tree Service LLC, a South Dakota-based small disadvantaged business, provides Emerald Ash Borer treatment and general arboriculture and tree trimming services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor under a single-award IDIQ vehicle reserved for small business. Royal Tree Service is a Subchapter S Corporation self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and operates under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and PSC S208 (Landscaping/Groundskeeping).

All six of Royal Tree Service's federal awards are prime contracts issued by Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, the civilian healthcare division of the Veterans Health Administration within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The vendor holds a single-award IDIQ contract valued at $693,293.50 with a total small business set-aside designation, running through May 31, 2030, with a guaranteed minimum of $5,000 over the five-year term. All five delivery orders under that IDIQ have been issued since July 1, 2025, totaling $170,486.57 obligated against a combined potential value of $864,000 across the six awards. Work is performed exclusively at the Sioux Falls VA Health Care System in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, subject to Service Contract Act wage determination requirements. The vendor's work encompasses trunk-injected Emamectin Benzoate treatment on approximately 56 ash trees for two-year Emerald Ash Borer protection and general tree trimming and removal services. Contract performance requirements include valid arborist licensing from both the City of Sioux Falls and the State of South Dakota, with at least one employee holding licensed arborist credentials and chemical applicator licenses from South Dakota.

Royal Tree Service exhibits concentrated customer footprint and early-stage federal engagement. The vendor serves a single customer agency (Veterans Integrated Service Network 23) across all six awards, with 100% of combined potential value concentrated in that relationship. Recent activity shows four awards in 2025 and two in 2026, with one award (valued at $76,000) completing within the next twenty-four months. The vendor competes under small business set-aside on the underlying IDIQ and on certain delivery orders, though not all issued orders carry set-aside designations. Royal Tree Service has no subcontract footprint in the source data and operates as a pure prime contractor focused on facility maintenance and grounds operations for a single VA facility.
