VON Eschen Jason N

VON Eschen Jason N, doing business as VON Eschen Landscaping, is a sole proprietorship based in Wagner, South Dakota, that provides pesticide application, noxious weed control, and vegetation management services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a small business prime contractor. The vendor operates exclusively under small business set-asides—either Total Small Business or no set-aside used—and has received 41 prime awards totaling $2.9 million in combined potential value since 2015, with $1.8 million obligated across contracts.

VON Eschen's customer base is heavily concentrated within a single federal customer. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (including the Engineering District Omaha office) accounts for 100% of awards—37 of 41 total—with $1.3 million combined potential value split between the parent USACE organization and the ENDIST Omaha district office. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service placed two small awards ($13 thousand). Work centers on pesticide application and noxious weed management at Corps facilities in South Dakota and Nebraska, primarily Fort Randall in Pickstown and the Gavins Point Project in Crofton.

Recent representative work includes a $131.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded April 17, 2026 by ENDIST Omaha for vegetative spraying services across 170 acres at Gavins Point Project through April 14, 2031, covering five optional one-year renewal periods and requiring EPA-registered herbicide applications by licensed commercial applicators; a $14.4 thousand delivery order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued March 5, 2025 for pesticide application services at Fort Randall under a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $249 thousand; and a $13.4 thousand delivery order dated March 21, 2024 for the same Fort Randall facility. The vendor holds the most active position on a single-award IDC (W9128F16D0041) where nine task orders have generated $24 thousand in combined potential value; four additional IDCs (W9128F16D0039, W9128F22D0053, W9128F16D0040, W9128F19D0046) collectively carry $277 thousand in combined potential value across fourteen task orders.

Activity has declined sharply—three awards in 2022 followed by a single award per year in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. One award worth $51 thousand reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing a modest recompete exposure. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles or GSA schedules and operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint; all 41 awards are prime contracts or delivery orders under prime IDCs issued by the Army Corps of Engineers.
