Silva TECH II, Inc.

Silva TECH II, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Dillon, South Carolina, provides herbicide application and invasive species management services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes entirely within the small business set-aside category.

Silva TECH II specializes in environmental management and wildlife habitat restoration, with a service portfolio centered on regulated herbicide application across national wildlife refuges and national forests. The company's work involves foliar broadcast treatment, invasive species eradication, and understory vegetation enhancement using approved herbicide mixtures (Triclopyr, Imazapyr, Glyphosate) applied across multiple-hundred-acre treatment areas. Representative recent work includes a $47.4 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 for invasive species herbicide treatment across 396 acres at Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina (awarded August 18, 2026, firm fixed price); an $8.8 thousand order for 83-acre foliar broadcast treatment at Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina (awarded September 10, 2026); and a $9.2 thousand purchase order from Fish and Wildlife Service for 168-acre herbicide application at Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge (awarded June 7, 2024). All work is performed under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) or timber tract operations classifications and under PSC F105 (Environmental Systems Protection–Pesticides Support).

Customer concentration is narrow and heavily weighted toward a single parent vehicle. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service anchors the portfolio with a $7 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for wildlife and forest management services running through June 15, 2028, while the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 accounts for five smaller purchase orders totaling $137 thousand combined potential value. The divergence between award count and potential value reflects the BPA structure: one high-ceiling vehicle paired with smaller individual task orders from Fish and Wildlife Service refuges across the Carolinas. Combined potential value across all eight awards is $7.2 million, with only $156 thousand obligated to date.

Activity shows low but consistent volume — one award in 2021, three in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — reflecting the seasonal and refuge-specific nature of herbicide application contracts. Two awards (combined potential value $56 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The company holds no subcontract work and sits on no government-wide vehicles; all revenue derives from direct prime awards under Total Small Business set-asides issued by Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service.
