Varga Landscape

Varga Landscape, a sole proprietorship and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Mansfield Center, Connecticut, delivers grounds maintenance and landscaping services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates entirely under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and related federal facility maintenance codes, with a federal contracting footprint spanning the past fifteen years.

Varga Landscape's customer base is concentrated with a single federal agency. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New England accounts for 9 of 10 awards and $183 thousand of the combined $231 thousand in potential value, while a single award to the broader Department of the Army accounts for the remaining $48 thousand. The vendor serves the New England region exclusively, with work performed at West Thompson Lake and Mansfield Hollow Lake in Connecticut.

Recent work exemplifies the vendor's scope: a $20,750 firm fixed-price purchase order from USACE New England for grounds maintenance at West Thompson Lake (awarded March 20, 2024, completed December 31, 2024) covering weekly mowing and trimming of 4.6 acres of fine lawn, bi-weekly mowing of 15.3 acres of semi-fine lawn, and fall cleanup; a $17,150 purchase order from the same district for identical services (awarded April 7, 2025, completed December 31, 2025); and two additional 2026 purchase orders from USACE New England for boundary maintenance at Mansfield Hollow Lake ($7,000, completed June 24, 2026) and grounds maintenance at West Thompson Lake ($16,950, completed December 31, 2026). All four recent awards are Total Small Business set-asides on firm fixed-price terms.

Activity has remained low and episodic — one award per year in 2019 and 2020, then a gap through 2023, then one award each in 2024 and 2025, and two in 2026. One award ($17 thousand) faces recompete inside the next twenty-four months. Varga Landscape operates as a prime contractor only; no subcontract work appears in the award portfolio. The vendor has maintained a contracting relationship with the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Defense for at least fifteen years, competing exclusively under small business set-asides with no IDV or vehicle seat.
