Schott AG Air LLC

Schott AG Air LLC, a small-business limited liability company based in Burns, Oregon, provides aerial pest control and vegetation management services to federal land and agricultural agencies as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company specializes in aerial application of pesticides, herbicides, and other treatments for grasshopper, Mormon cricket, and invasive vegetation suppression across western rangeland and refuge systems.

Schott AG Air LLC operates in a highly concentrated customer space anchored by the Department of Agriculture. The top five customer segments account for 94% of recent awards by count and 97% of combined potential value. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine dominates the footprint with six awards worth $722 thousand in combined potential value, covering grasshopper and Mormon cricket aerial treatments across multiple seasons. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington segment ranks second with five awards ($138 thousand combined potential value), followed by USDA's Wildlife Services division (two awards, $106 thousand) and USDA APHIS Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services (one award, $120 thousand). The vendor also holds a single $154 thousand award under the broader USDA APHIS umbrella. Work categories track to soil preparation and natural resources conservation, with the majority of awards falling under PSC codes for aerial fertilization and spraying.

Schott AG Air LLC holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract from USDA APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine with a ceiling of $484,700 and performance period running through April 30, 2027. The contract covers full-service rangeland aerial spraying treatment for grasshopper and Mormon cricket suppression across six western states—Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and Utah—with a minimum order of $500 and maximum order per contract of $1 million. The company also places task orders under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (INL13PA00088) with four orders totaling $138 thousand in combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $30,475 small-business-set-aside delivery order from USDA's Plant Protection and Quarantine in June 2026 for grasshopper treatment in Baker County, Oregon (299 gallons of formulated pesticide mixture); a $39,798 small-business purchase order from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in September 2024 for herbicide application on 278 acres at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge; and an $84,912 definitive contract from USDA APHIS in July 2023 for aerial grasshopper control across approximately 40,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management rangeland in Burns, Oregon.

Activity has remained modest and flat—one to two awards per year from 2022 through 2026—with combined potential value of $1.3 million across all sixteen awards in the source window. Sixty-two percent of that potential value has been obligated and invoiced. Only one award ($500) faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, leaving minimal recompete exposure in that window. Schott AG Air LLC operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data.
