UFL Inc.

UFL Inc., a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business headquartered in Ackerman, Mississippi, delivers invasive species management, habitat restoration, and natural resource conservation services to federal agencies across the Southeastern United States as a prime contractor on a 100% prime footprint. The company is a Subchapter S corporation, DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise, and Hispanic American-owned firm competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no recurring set-aside category across its prime portfolio, though roughly one-third of recent awards carry small business set-aside designations on an individual-order basis.

UFL's concrete capability portfolio centers on invasive plant identification and removal, herbicide application, exotic species control, hazardous fuels treatment, vegetation management, and habitat restoration across national wildlife refuges, conservation areas, and federal lands. Representative work includes a $24.3 million combined-potential-value footprint of 43 delivery orders under a $15 million IDIQ with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 for invasive species treatment across Florida national wildlife refuges (Merritt Island, Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee, Everglades Headwaters, Panther Swamp, and others); a $5 million portfolio of 40 task orders with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Vicksburg for herbicide treatment, riprap stabilization, and invasive species management; and a $3.1 million body of work with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region for forestry and habitat management services. A $16.9 million concentration of 22 awards from the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Central Region reflects UFL's secondary concentration in NRCS-funded habitat and land treatment projects.

The top five federal customers account for 72% of recent awards and 80% of combined potential value, with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 anchoring the portfolio at $24.3 million across 43 awards. The NRCS Central Region ranks second by dollar value at $16.9 million but represents a smaller award count (22 orders), indicating larger individual task orders from NRCS relative to Fish and Wildlife Service work. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Vicksburg places the third-largest dollar concentration at $5 million via 40 awards; when combined with other Army Corps entities, total Army Corps exposure reaches approximately $8 million across 51 task orders, making it a significant secondary customer by volume and dollars. The Forest Service R8-Southern Region and the National Park Service Southeast Region round out the active set at $3.1 million and $2.8 million respectively.

UFL's vehicle position is anchored in indefinite-delivery contracts rather than government-wide vehicles or BPAs. The primary vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 140F0421D0005 (a $15 million IDIQ with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 for invasive species treatment, awarded October 2021 and effective through September 2026), which carries 27 task orders valued at $4.6 million combined potential value. The Army Corps of Engineers maintains multiple IDIQs supporting UFL's placement: Contract W912EE17D0009 (17 task orders, $2.3 million), W912EE11D0017 (10 task orders, $685 thousand), and W912EE14D0006 (10 task orders, $556 thousand). A fifth vehicle, NRCS Contract AG7442C130007, carries 8 task orders valued at $1.2 million. UFL does not appear on government-wide acquisition contracts, GSA Schedules, or multi-agency BPAs; its business is routed through single-agency or single-district IDIQs.

Activity has grown modestly over five years, climbing from 5 awards in 2022 to a peak of 13 in 2024, then declining to 2 awards in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across the full 230-award portfolio is $65.4 million, with $33.9 million obligated (52% of potential). The recompete cliff is minimal: only 2 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $272 thousand, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure and suggesting that most active IDIQs remain current through their ceiling values or have multi-year runway. The vendor's recent awards (July and December 2025, July 2026) show ongoing task order placement under Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 and one Army Corps delivery order, confirming active customer engagement despite the lower 2026 count to date.

UFL's capability concentration is heavily weighted toward forestry and natural resources support: 182 of 230 awards fall under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry), with secondary concentrations in landscaping services (13 awards), soil preparation and planting (9 awards), and environmental services (7 awards by highway/bridge construction). PSC coding reflects this profile: Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest Tree Planting dominates at 53 awards, followed by Natural Resources/Conservation–Other (30 awards), Other Environmental Services (30 awards), Land Treatment Practices (21 awards), and Environmental Systems Protection–Pesticides Support (18 awards). The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, meaning all work is executed by UFL's internal resources or suppliers rather than through subcontracting relationships.
