Michael Terry

Michael Terry, a sole proprietor based in Chesterfield, Virginia, provides botanical surveys, rare and threatened species habitat assessments, and environmental field inventory services to federal agencies under small-business set-asides. All 25 of Terry's recent prime awards are structured as Total Small Business set-asides; the vendor competes exclusively under set-aside restrictions and holds no full-and-open awards in the source footprint.

Terry's capability portfolio centers on field-based ecological survey work. Representative prime awards include a $70,744 purchase order from the USDA Forest Service Eastern Region (Region 9) for rare plant surveys across 5,727 acres and 234 forest stands on the Chippewa National Forest in Minnesota, awarded June 5, 2026 with completion required by October 2, 2026; a $68,600 Army Corps of Engineers New England District purchase order for rare, threatened, and endangered species surveys covering approximately 2,070 acres at East Brimfield Lake in Massachusetts, awarded April 25, 2023; and a $58,628 USDA Forest Service Eastern Region purchase order for plant surveys on the Chippewa National Forest using Random Meander search methodology, awarded June 1, 2024. Work consistently involves botanical field inventories, habitat reconnaissance, endangered species identification, noxious weed assessment, GPS documentation, and final technical reporting to federal land-management agencies. The vendor registered with SAM.gov in 2010 and maintains consistent year-round availability for seasonal survey windows.

Customer concentration is severe. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Eastern Region (Region 9) accounts for 20 of 25 awards but only $1.7 million in combined potential value — representing a pattern of small, recurring seasonal purchase orders. However, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions awarded a $50 million blanket purchase agreement to Michael Terry on May 15, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 6, 2033, for natural resources restoration, botanical surveys, habitat reconnaissance, and environmental management services nationwide under the Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) program. This single vehicle dominates Terry's potential-value footprint (covering 96% of all potential value) and anchors a multi-year national platform. The Army Corps of Engineers operates across three regional engineering districts (New England, Baltimore, and Savannah) as a secondary customer base generating small purchase orders for species surveys at water-resource projects.

The $50 million LMIR BPA sits as the primary parent vehicle; six task orders have been placed against a separate small-dollar IDC vehicle (Indefinite Delivery Contract AG6392C140011) accounting for $119 thousand in combined potential value. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only one award ($71 thousand) faces ultimate completion in that window. Primary NAICS codes are 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and Support Activities for Forestry; PSC codes emphasize Natural Resources/Conservation, Other Environmental Services, and Special Studies/Analysis for endangered species. The vendor carries no subcontract exposure; all 25 awards are primes.
