Michael Terry

Michael Terry, a sole proprietor based in Chesterfield, Virginia, provides botanical surveys, rare and endangered species habitat assessments, and land management integrated resources work to federal natural resource agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract activity, holding a $50 million ceiling Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service for Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) services awarded May 15, 2026, running through March 6, 2033.

Michael Terry's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 9 Eastern Region, which accounts for 21 of 26 recent awards (100% coverage of the award portfolio) but only $1.9 million in combined potential value — a structural divergence explained by the single $50 million ceiling BPA held with USDA Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions, which dominates the potential-value ranking while the Eastern Region supplies recurring small purchase orders. The Army Corps of Engineers operates as a secondary customer through district offices in New England, Baltimore, and Savannah, contributing five awards totaling roughly $221 thousand combined value. Work is performed nationwide at named sites including the Monongahela National Forest (Elkins, West Virginia), Chippewa National Forest (Deer River, Minnesota), Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (Eagle River, Wisconsin), and East Brimfield Lake (Fiskdale, Massachusetts).

Recent representative work includes a $175.8 thousand BPA call from Forest Service Region 9 Eastern Region awarded September 29, 2026, for extensive stand exams and land management integrated resources work at Monongahela National Forest; a $70.7 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from Forest Service Region 9 for rare plant surveys on Chippewa National Forest awarded June 5, 2026; and a $68.6 thousand Total Small Business award from Army Corps of Engineers New England District in April 2023 for rare, threatened, and endangered species surveys at East Brimfield Lake. Michael Terry's capability portfolio centers on botanical surveys using Random Meander search methodology, Regional Forester Sensitive Species plant identification, habitat reconnaissance, noxious weed assessment, and environmental management field work; work is typically firm-fixed-price and delivered within seasonal or annual performance windows. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides on purchase orders and calls against the LMIR BPA, with no full-and-open or other set-aside category activity in the source record. Activity has remained sporadic and low-volume — two to three awards annually since 2021 — with one award (the $50 million LMIR BPA) representing the vast majority of ceiling value and remaining work consisting of individual task orders and purchase orders under $200 thousand. NAICS concentration aligns with work content: Support Activities for Forestry (17 awards) and Environmental Consulting Services (5 awards) anchor the portfolio.
