Target Applicators, Inc.

Target Applicators, Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Newhope, Arkansas, provides mowing and vegetation management services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under small-business set-asides or competitive open vehicles across a portfolio of single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts for grounds maintenance at Corps-managed water resource and recreational facilities in Arkansas.

Target Applicators is an economically disadvantaged women-owned small business registered in SAM.gov since 2007, structured as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation. The company's capability portfolio centers on landscape maintenance and grounds-keeping work classified under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), with firm fixed-price task orders covering mowing, vegetation management, and site maintenance at Corps lake and park facilities. Recent representative work includes a $44,050 delivery order (July 2026) for mowing at Ben Lomond, Arkansas under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $78,650 pre-priced task order (August 2025) for mowing services at Dierks and Gillham Lakes; a $70,000 delivery order (July 2024) for mowing at DeQueen Lake; and a $100,200 delivery order (July 2022) for mowing in the Millwood Tri Lakes area.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for 96% of awards by count and 91% of combined potential value (approximately $4.5 million), split between the Engineering District Little Rock (44 awards, $2.5 million combined potential value) and broader Army Corps of Engineers entities (20 awards, $2 million combined potential value). One award has been placed with the Engineering District Tulsa. Target Applicators has no subcontract work; 100% of the portfolio is prime awards.

The vendor holds five active single-award IDIQs with the Army Corps of Engineers. The largest vehicle, IDC W9127S23D0013 (awarded June 2024 with a $288,300 ceiling through December 2027), has generated nine task orders totaling $350 thousand for mowing services at DeQueen Lake; the older W9127S07D0007 contract (ultimately expiring) has generated 15 task orders worth $257 thousand; the W9127S08D0007 vehicle supports seven task orders valued at $236 thousand; and two additional IDCs (W9127S11D0018 and W9127S18D0013) collectively support ten task orders worth $617 thousand. All work is performed at Corps project sites in Arkansas, principally at Dierks Lake, Gillham Lake, DeQueen Lake, and Horseshoe Bend Park.

Activity has been modest and episodic — four awards in 2022, five in 2023, six in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 — with only two awards (combined potential value $68 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete pressure. The vendor's $5.3 million combined potential value across 68 prime awards, with $2.4 million obligated to date (44% utilization rate), reflects a stable but narrow customer base and a specialized grounds-maintenance footprint confined to a single agency and region.
