Western Weed Control LLC

Western Weed Control LLC, a small-business partnership based in Columbia Falls, Montana, provides noxious weed and invasive species control services exclusively to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor, operating under total small business set-aside designations on roughly half its recent awards and full-and-open competition on the remainder.

Western Weed Control's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in natural-resources stewardship. The top two federal customers account for 90% of recent awards and essentially all combined potential value: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Northern Region (USDA-FS R1) anchors 46 awards valued at $14.8 million, while the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 holds 6 awards valued at $457 thousand. The remaining three customers—Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2, Fish and Wildlife Service national office, and the Forest Service Washington Office Economic Recovery Operations Center Intermountain—represent a combined $63 thousand in potential value across three awards. This geographic and administrative concentration reflects Western Weed Control's specialization in regional land management across Idaho and Montana.

Western Weed Control holds two master contract vehicles. The USDA Forest Service Northern Region awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (AG03R6C110030) valued at $9.99 million through March 31, 2027, the largest vehicle in the portfolio, against which 16 task orders carry $274 thousand in combined potential value. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 established a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (140FS223A0092) valued at $250 thousand through August 31, 2028, with 4 calls generating $164 thousand in combined potential value. Two additional USDA Forest Service IDVs (AG03R6C140042 and 1284LL22D0001) have issued 9 and 9 task orders respectively, carrying $426 thousand and $153 thousand combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $124,500 BPA call to the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 (September 2026) for Eurasian watermilfoil herbicide application at Pablo National Wildlife Refuge; a $23,226 delivery order to USDA Forest Service R1 (April 2026) for herbicide spraying at the TIA Seed Orchard on Lolo National Forest; and a $17,600 delivery order to USDA Forest Service R1 (July 2026) for UTV-based weed spraying on the Seeley Lake area of Lolo National Forest, all firm fixed price.

Activity remains steady but modest—three awards in 2022, five in 2024, and three year-to-date in 2026—with only three awards (combined potential value $165 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Western Weed Control operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The portfolio concentrates in NAICS 541900 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 56 of 61 awards, and PSC codes for natural resources and conservation work, particularly pesticide support and forest and range improvements. Work is performed at multiple locations across Montana and Idaho (Missoula, Great Falls, Columbia Falls, Kalispell, and Kamiah) corresponding to the geography of national forests and wildlife refuge management districts.
