Vegetation Management Services LLC

Vegetation Management Services LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Shoshone, Idaho, provides herbicide application, invasive species control, and noxious weed treatment services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor operating almost exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor competes predominantly in the western United States across USDA Forest Service and Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management regional offices, with a $63.6 million combined potential value portfolio anchored by a single $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) National Blanket Purchase Agreement and a $10 million IDIQ for noxious weed control.

Vegetation Management Services LLC's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward land management agencies. The top five funding entities account for 92% of recent award count, dominated by the BLM Idaho Region (13 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value) and the Forest Service Northern Region (4 awards, $10 million combined potential value). However, the potential-value rankings diverge sharply: the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions entity alone carries the $50 million LMIR BPA, which dwarfs all other awards. This concentration reflects the vendor's positioning as a specialized provider under a single national land management vehicle alongside numerous smaller regional task orders issued by BLM field offices in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on ground-truth invasive species management. Representative work includes a $339,302 definitive contract awarded in April 2022 by the Forest Service Intermountain Region for herbicide application and noxious weed abatement across approximately 887 acres of Boise National Forest (covering post-fire restoration, EDRR treatment, and sawtooth projects); a $37,350 LMIR BPA call issued May 2025 by the Forest Service Montana-Dakotas Region for vegetation management at Marysville; and a $217,747 purchase order awarded April 2023 by the Department of the Army for LPA herbicide services on Army-managed lands in Boise, Idaho, extended through March 2028. Across the portfolio, work is characterized by herbicide application, weed surveys, invasive plant inventory, and ecological restoration across national forests and BLM-administered public lands.

The vendor holds four significant parent vehicles. The $50 million LMIR BPA with USDA Forest Service Washington Office (awarded September 2023, running through March 2033) is available to all federal agencies for integrated land management services nationally. The $10 million IDIQ for Region 1 weed control (awarded July 2022, completing March 2027) is a multiple-award vehicle for noxious weed control and herbicide application across Idaho and Montana national forests. Three smaller BPAs with the BLM Idaho Region total $1.2 million in ceiling value: a $600,000 single-award BPA for invasive species management across Salmon and Challis Field Offices (awarded March 2025, through April 2030), a $350,000 single-award Pocatello Field Office BPA (awarded May 2026, through April 2031), and a $250,000 single-award wildfire-area BPA (awarded May 2025, through May 2030).

Activity has been uneven but recently elevated. The vendor received six awards in 2022, declining to three in 2024, then recovering to five in 2025 and two in 2026 (through mid-June). Only $629 thousand has been obligated against a $63.6 million potential-value ceiling (1% utilization), suggesting that the portfolio consists predominantly of indefinite-delivery vehicles with limited task-order activity to date. Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $228 thousand, representing minimal near-term recompete exposure relative to the portfolio ceiling. The vendor operates as a sole proprietor structured as a limited liability company, competes exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides or no set-aside (full-and-open) across land-management vehicles, and has not positioned itself in any subcontractor role. Work is performed across the western United States, with primary operational footprint in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
