Sweat US LLC

Sweat US LLC, a Native American-owned, SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Milton, Florida, provides mechanical and manual vegetation management, hazardous fuels reduction, and forestry services exclusively as a prime contractor to federal land management agencies, with no subcontractor partnerships across its portfolio. Operating under primary NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), Sweat US LLC competes predominantly under total small business set-asides and 8(a) sole-source designations, though recent awards increasingly reflect full-and-open competition on single-award BPAs and IDIQs where the company's 8(a) status anchors sole-source authority.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the U.S. Forest Service across multiple regions, which accounts for the bulk of Sweat's award volume and potential value. The top five customer agencies cover 62% of awards by count but 68% by combined potential value, driven by Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) with 60 awards worth $194.4 million in combined potential value. Secondary but significant customers include Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern, $64.5 million across 13 awards), Forest Service Region 1 (Northern, $62.5 million across 2 awards—both large BPAs), Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest, $50.1 million across 3 awards), and Forest Service Region 8 (Southern, $26 million across 22 awards). The National Park Service Intermountain Region, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appear across approximately 50 additional awards. Department of Defense and Army Corps of Engineers work is limited to specialty vegetation management at military installations, including a $3.8 million 8(a) sole-source repair contract with Navy Installations Command at Kings Bay in 2021 and longleaf restoration delivery orders at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.

Sweat US LLC holds a substantial portfolio of parent vehicles anchoring its federal footprint. The Forest Service Region 2 Vegetation Management IDIQ ($100 million, total small business set-aside, awarded March 2024) is the largest active vehicle by ordering frequency (20 task orders captured in the source) and carries a completion date of March 13, 2029. Six stewardship and restoration BPAs, each valued at $50 million, span Forest Service regions 1 (Northern Rockies, through October 2032), 2 (Rocky Mountain Restoration Project, through July 2032), 3 (Southwest, through December 2032), 5 (Pacific Southwest, through October 2032), and a Northern Region Mechanical Thinning IDIQ ($12.5 million, through September 2027). Fish and Wildlife Service assigned a $49.5 million National Hazardous Fuels Reduction BPA (through March 2029) covering nationwide work. A $7.5 million Southwestern Region Tree Planting IDIQ awarded April 2026 supports reforestation across eleven National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico. An Air Force Test Center single-award IDIQ for longleaf restoration services at Eglin AFB carries $2.3 million in ceiling value through November 2029. An Army Corps of Engineers single-award unit brush cutting IDIQ at Joint Base Lewis-McChord holds $1.7 million ceiling through July 2029. Recent activity shows 10 awards in 2026 (as of late September), down from 29 in 2022 and 15 in 2024, suggesting near-term recompete activity concentrated in the 2022–2024 award cohort. Seven awards carrying combined potential value of $1.2 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.

Sweat US LLC's capability portfolio centers on labor-intensive mechanical and manual forestry work: mastication (mulching) of hazardous fuels across thousands of acres, hand thinning and stand improvement on national forest lands, prescribed fire preparation and ground work, invasive species removal (tamarisk, sage scrub, cheatgrass), reforestation and tree planting, timber stand improvement, brush cutting, and debris removal. Representative recent prime work includes a $4.89 million purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management California Desert District for vegetation and fuels management across over 7,800 acres in the California Desert (awarded September 2026, performance through September 2031); a $935,289 BPA call from Forest Service Region 2 for the North Routt Slack Pitch stewardship project in Colorado (August 2023, completion October 2025); a $631,850 delivery order for manual thinning and piling on 702 acres in Colorado (August 2024); a $543,147.50 brush-cutting order for 2,050 acres in the Southern Region (September 2024); and a $455,578 purchase order from Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern) for manual site preparation in the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania (August 2025). Work is performed across western national forests and grasslands, the Pacific Southwest, southern longleaf pine ecosystems, and northeastern Appalachian forests, with sporadic Department of Defense and Corps of Engineers work in Florida and Washington.

Service Contract Inventory data show SCI-reportable invoicing of $4.7 million in FY2022 across roughly 62 FTEs performing federal service contracts; no FTE or invoicing activity appears in SCI for FY2023–FY2025, likely reflecting a shift toward firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders (which typically bypass SCI reporting when classified as construction, goods, or simplified acquisitions) and away from labor-hour or time-and-materials service contracts above the SCI threshold. When SCI did capture the vendor, median government-paid rates ran around $31/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $138/hr and entry rates around $21/hr. The vendor operates exclusively through its own crews without named subcontractors, holding zero sub-award records across its portfolio.

Sweat US LLC's 8(a) certification, valid through November 17, 2027, expires within the planning horizon of its largest active vehicles (Forest Service Region 2 IDIQ through 2029, multiple $50 million BPAs through 2032–2033), creating potential recompete exposure on vehicles that carry 8(a) sole-source authority today. The vendor's activity trajectory has flattened after a 2022 peak (29 awards), with recent years showing single-digit annual awards despite a $583.6 million combined potential-value portfolio; only $59 million (10%) has been obligated, indicating substantial future ordering room within existing vehicles. The absence of subcontractor relationships and the 100% prime posture position Sweat as a specialist execution vehicle dependent on direct ordering from federal land management agencies rather than as a feeder supplier to larger defense or construction primes.
