Westside Ecological, Inc.

Westside Ecological, Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Eugene, Oregon, provides threatened and endangered species surveys and ecological assessment services exclusively to the Bureau of Land Management's Oregon-Washington Region as a prime contractor, operating under a single-customer, single-agency footprint with 100% of recent awards concentrated in Total Small Business set-asides.

The company's entire capability portfolio centers on wildlife surveys in the Pacific Northwest, specifically northern spotted owl population assessments, marbled murrelet surveys, and red tree vole detection across Western Oregon BLM districts. Westside Ecological has served the BLM since 2006 and currently holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $18.5 million running through December 31, 2028, which authorizes task orders for wildlife surveys across the Coos Bay, Lakeview, Medford, Northwest Oregon, and Roseburg districts. Recent representative delivery orders include a $283,990 Total Small Business award issued February 18, 2026 for northern spotted owl surveys in the South Zone of the Northwest Oregon District with completion targeted for February 28, 2027; a $278,451 Total Small Business order from April 7, 2025 for northern spotted owl clearance surveys in Douglas County (Roseburg District) completed October 31, 2025; and a $273,750 Total Small Business delivery order from January 1, 2025 for Modernized Resource Assessment and Urban Resource Assessment surveys in the Coos Bay area. The company's survey work involves detailed field activities including activity center searches, calling station visits, follow-up investigations, and GPS-based wildlife population documentation to support BLM species protection and land management objectives.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region accounts for all 15 recent awards and the full $31 million combined potential value. Activity has remained modest and relatively flat over the past five years — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one through early 2026 — with only one award (valued at $284 thousand) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor places all work under two Indefinite Delivery Contracts: 140L4319D0004 (8 task orders, $380 thousand combined potential value) and 140L4324D0008 (4 task orders, $836 thousand combined potential value). Westside Ecological operates with no subcontractor footprint — all 15 recent awards are prime work with no sub-awards recorded. Combined dollars obligated total $1.5 million against the $31 million combined potential value ceiling, reflecting the delivery-order nature of the work and the typical invoicing cadence of field survey execution.
