UFL Inc.

UFL Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Ackerman, Mississippi, delivers invasive species treatment, habitat restoration, hazardous fuels reduction, and vegetation management services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor on delivery orders and definitive contracts. The company competes predominantly full-and-open across its federal footprint, with no set-aside designations on the majority of recent awards, though several delivery orders carry total small business set-aside designations.

UFL holds a $15 million IDIQ multiple-award contract with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (awarded October 2021, running through September 2026) for invasive species treatment across Florida national wildlife refuges and conservation areas. As of July 2025, the USFWS has issued approximately 22 delivery orders under this vehicle, with individual task order values ranging from $20,000 to $498,000. Recent IDIQ delivery orders include a $52,204.56 award for invasive plant treatment at Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge, a $498,000 award for exotic plant control at Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, and a $462,132.21 award for herbicide treatment at Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. The company also executes task orders under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers indefinite-delivery contracts, including a $130,888.05 delivery order for herbicide treatment in Ackerman, Mississippi, and a $213,750.64 delivery order for Red River Rip Rap services. Beyond the IDIQ and indefinite-delivery vehicles, UFL holds definitive contracts with the National Park Service Southeast Region—a $384,950 firm-fixed-price contract (2023) for hazardous and downed timber removal along the Old Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (41 awards, $24 million combined potential value) and the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Central Region (22 awards, $16.9 million), which together account for approximately 80% of combined potential value across UFL's 228 prime awards. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Vicksburg (40 awards, $5 million) and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region (42 awards, $3.1 million) round out the top customer set. The 72% coverage of top customers by award count masks a meaningful skew: NRCS Central Region places fewer orders but anchors larger dollar values, while Forest Service places many small awards with lower combined value.

UFL's parent vehicle footprint centers on four primary indefinite-delivery contracts under Army Corps of Engineers. The company executes 25 task orders under W912EE17D0009 ($2.3 million combined potential value), 17 task orders under W912EE11D0017 ($685 thousand), and 10 task orders each under W912EE14D0006 ($556 thousand). The USFWS IDIQ (140F0421D0005) carries 25 task orders valued at $4.3 million combined. An eighth NRCS indefinite-delivery contract (AG7442C130007) supports eight task orders at $1.2 million combined potential value.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years—ranging from five awards in 2022 to thirteen in 2024—with combined potential value across all awards at $65.1 million and obligated dollars standing at $33.6 million (52% of potential). Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $533 thousand in combined potential value and minimal recompete exposure in that window. UFL's work concentrates in support activities for forestry (180 awards across NAICS 561110) and landscaping services (13 awards), with secondary exposure in soil preparation and highway construction. PSC coding reflects the distribution: 53 awards fall under natural resources conservation forest tree planting, 30 under natural resources conservation other, and 28 under other environmental services.

UFL operates exclusively as a prime contractor—all 228 awards are prime contracts or IDIQs with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The company's service geography spans the Southeastern United States, with work performed at multiple national wildlife refuges, national parks, and conservation areas in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. Performance locations are distributed across refuge locations in central and southern Florida for the bulk of USFWS work, with Army Corps operations concentrated in Mississippi and broader regional work across Forest Service and NRCS contracts.
