WMA Noxious Weed / Range Specialists LLC

WMA Noxious Weed / Range Specialists LLC, a Montana-based small business limited liability company headquartered in Missoula, provides invasive species management, noxious weed treatment, and ecological restoration services as a prime contractor to federal land management agencies under total small business set-asides and competitive full-and-open awards. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, which account for the majority of its prime contract footprint across the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Department of the Interior.

WMA Noxious Weed's customer base is concentrated in western land management agencies. The top five funders account for 100% of awards and potential value: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) anchors the portfolio with 23 awards worth $10.8 million in combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (8 awards, $1.7 million), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) (1 award, $1.4 million), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (3 awards, $588 thousand), and the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region (1 award). The Northern Region dominates both volume and dollars, reflecting WMA's deep footprint on Montana national forests.

The company's service offerings include ground-based and aerial herbicide application, weed inventories, integrated pest management, environmental monitoring, and vegetation and soil monitoring across approximately 5.5 million acres of federal lands in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. Recent representative work includes a $195,000 BPA call from the BLM Idaho Region for ground-based herbicide application targeting invasive species in the Salmon Field Office (awarded April 1, 2026, under the agency's $600,000 invasive species management BPA with completion November 30, 2028); a $402,000 purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation for noxious weed treatment and control services around Clark Canyon Dam and Reservoir, Montana, extending into Option Year 1 with completion February 28, 2031 (awarded July 25, 2025); and a $1.4 million single-award IDC from the Forest Service Intermountain Region for rare plant and invasive plant species survey, inventory, monitoring, and treatment services across southern Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah (awarded October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2029).

WMA holds four active parent vehicles: a $9.999 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Forest Service Northern Region running through March 2027, which has generated 16 task orders worth $135 thousand; a $1.4 million single-award IDC with the Forest Service Intermountain Region (4 task orders, $164 thousand); a $600,000 single-award BPA with the BLM Idaho Region for invasive species management (2 task orders, $329 thousand); and a $350,000 BPA with the BLM Pocatello Field Office awarded May 19, 2026, through May 12, 2031 (2 task orders, $349 thousand). Award activity has been inconsistent over the past five years—2 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 4 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 3 in 2026—reflecting the event-driven and seasonal nature of vegetation management contracts. Only 2 awards with combined potential value of $175 thousand reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, minimizing near-term recompete exposure. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $1.3 million against $14.5 million in combined potential value, reflecting the indefinite-delivery structure of most parent vehicles.
