Wilderness Weeds, Inc.

Wilderness Weeds, Inc. is a small agricultural cooperative and self-certified small disadvantaged business located in New Castle, Colorado, registered in SAM.gov since 2007. The company specializes in invasive species management and ecological preservation services, primarily focusing on vegetation control and noxious weed treatment for federal land management agencies. As a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation, Wilderness Weeds, Inc. provides targeted ecological management services to public lands, with a particular emphasis on forest and grassland environments.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contract task orders exclusively through the U.S. Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Region, specifically targeting noxious weed treatment and invasive species management. These contracts have been predominantly small business set-aside awards, with task orders ranging from $3,750 to $39,030. The work involves specialized weed spraying and vegetation management services across various national forests in Colorado, including the San Juan, Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests. Each contract focuses on specific geographic areas such as Soap Creek, Lottis Creek, Hightower Creek, and Buzzard Creeks, with the primary objective of controlling invasive plant species along roads, trails, timber sales, and recreation sites.

Wilderness Weeds, Inc. holds two significant indefinite delivery vehicles (IDVs) with the U.S. Forest Service: a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $249,500 through May 2025 for weed treatment and inventory services in the San Juan National Forest, and a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) for forest-wide noxious weed treatments valid through December 2024. These IDVs enable the Forest Service to efficiently mobilize the small business contractor for integrated pest management across public lands. The BPA has already generated three task orders totaling $48,918, demonstrating the agency's consistent utilization of Wilderness Weeds, Inc. for specialized ecological management services. Both IDVs are designed to support the Forest Service's systematic approach to controlling invasive species within the Rocky Mountain Region.
