Cole Surveying And Design, Pa

Cole Surveying And Design, Pa, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Woodfin, North Carolina, provides land surveying, boundary delineation, easement surveys, and topographic survey services to the Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and competitive vehicles. The vendor competes predominantly under set-asides, with 21 of 24 recent prime awards carrying Total Small Business or other set-aside designations, and operates exclusively as a prime across its federal footprint with no subcontractor work.

Cole Surveying's customer base is highly concentrated within the Department of Agriculture's natural-resources agencies. The Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) accounts for 19 of 24 awards with $1.4 million in combined potential value, while the Natural Resources Conservation Service Southeast Region holds 2 awards worth $472 thousand combined. A single outlier — the $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) National BPA awarded by the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions on January 21, 2026 — anchors the vendor's dollar footprint and represents its most material vehicle position. The dollar concentration is extreme: 96% of the vendor's $51.9 million combined potential value flows from the single LMIR BPA, while 23 small definitive contracts and purchase orders under Region 8 and NRCS carry only $1.9 million collectively. The vendor has issued one task order under LMIR valued at $872 thousand for boundary-line painting and posting work across the Forest Service's national footprint, completing by September 21, 2028.

Work is concentrated in southeastern Forest Service and NRCS programs. Representative prime awards include a $285 thousand definitive contract from Forest Service Region 8 for Hurricane Helene recovery site surveys at Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests (awarded June 24, 2026, completing February 19, 2027), a $312.9 thousand contract from NRCS for Agricultural Conservation Easement Program – Wetland Reserve Easement boundary surveys in South Carolina and North Carolina (awarded September 28, 2023, completing May 2, 2025), and a $158.7 thousand contract from NRCS for legal boundary surveys in Hyde County, North Carolina supporting the Easement and Great American Outdoors Act programs (awarded September 27, 2023, completing January 31, 2025). Smaller work includes boundary surveys, corner maintenance, and paint-and-post services for property-line delineation, typically valued between $6 thousand and $22.5 thousand per award.

Recent activity shows cyclical volatility: two awards in 2022, five in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and five in 2026 (most recent September 21, 2026). Three awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.2 million, presenting modest recompete exposure outside the dominant LMIR vehicle. The vendor's primary NAICS footprint is Surveying and Mapping Services (15 awards), with secondary concentration in Support Activities for Forestry, Architectural Services, and Landscape Architecture. Capability work spans boundary and easement surveys, topographic and site surveys, corner maintenance and monumentation, and land-acquisition support primarily for southeastern Forest Service and NRCS conservation and disaster-recovery programs, with minimal direct Department of the Interior work (one $7 thousand National Park Service award).
