Southwest Weed Control

Southwest Weed Control is a for-profit small business located in Dolores, Colorado, specializing in invasive species treatment and land management services for federal agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 2007, the company provides targeted vegetation control and ecosystem management solutions primarily for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. Their core expertise involves applying herbicides and conducting comprehensive invasive weed inventory and treatment across national forest lands, with a specific focus on motorized areas, campgrounds, burn zones, and waterways in Colorado's Rocky Mountain Region.

The company has consistently been awarded delivery order contracts from the USDA Forest Service for specialized invasive species management projects. These contracts have included weed treatment services in multiple national forest locations such as San Juan National Forest, Rio Chama, Chicken Creek, and Dolores County. Each project involves precise herbicide application and vegetation control across varied terrains, including linear and non-linear motorized areas. The contracts range in value from approximately $4,900 to $48,000 and have consistently been awarded without specific set-aside designations, though the company is recognized as a small business. The work typically involves comprehensive inventory of invasive species followed by targeted treatment strategies to manage unwanted vegetation growth.

Southwest Weed Control holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region, valued at $249,500 and set to run through May 31, 2025. This IDC was specifically set aside for small businesses and provides a comprehensive framework for invasive species control across National Forest System lands. Under this contract, the company has received multiple delivery orders, including treatments in the Fossett Gulch area, Chicken Creek, Dolores, and along the Rio Chama. The IDC supports the agency's land management objectives by enabling sustained, flexible invasive species control through precise herbicide application and ecological management techniques. The contract vehicle allows for responsive and targeted interventions in managing vegetation across diverse forest environments.
