WMA Noxious Weed / Range Specialists LLC

WMA Noxious Weed / Range Specialists LLC, a Montana-based small business limited liability company, provides ground-based and aerial herbicide application, weed inventory, and invasive species treatment services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on a highly specialized portfolio of noxious weed control and ecological restoration work across approximately 5.5 million acres of federal lands in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah.

The company's customer base is concentrated heavily with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region), which accounts for 24 awards totaling $10.9 million in combined potential value — roughly 75% of the vendor's total contract footprint. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region ranks second with 9 awards worth $1.7 million combined potential value. The Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bureau of Land Management's broader Pocatello Field Office round out a customer set spanning six distinct agencies. All six customers appear in both the award-count and potential-value rankings, indicating consistent order flow rather than heavy concentration in a few large awards.

Recent representative work includes a $195,000 BPA call from BLM Idaho Region (April 2026) for ground-based herbicide application targeting invasive species within the Salmon Field Office in Lemhi County, Idaho; a $150,185 purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation (April 2024) for aerial, ground, and integrated pest management treatment at Clark Canyon Dam and Reservoir through April 2029; a $76,045 delivery order from Forest Service Region 1 (September 2024) for burned area emergency response invasive plant spraying and inventory on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest; and a $1.4 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract from the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (October 2024) for rare plant survey, inventory, monitoring, and invasive species treatment across southern Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah through September 2029.

The vendor holds five parent vehicles: a $9.999 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Forest Service Region 1 (awarded July 2022, through March 31, 2027) generating 16 task orders worth $135 thousand in combined potential value; a $600,000 single-award BPA with BLM Idaho Region (awarded March 2025, through April 2030) for invasive species management across the Salmon and Challis Field Offices; a $350,000 single-award BPA with BLM Pocatello Field Office (awarded May 2026, through May 2031) for on-the-ground herbicide application; and two additional BPAs under Forest Service Idaho Region that collectively support ground-based and aerial weed control. All vehicles are structured as total small business set-asides or carry no set-aside designation; the company does not compete on full-and-open federal contracts.

Activity has remained steady — five awards in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, five in 2026, and one to date in 2027 — with a combined potential value of $14.6 million. Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $287 thousand and face recompete exposure. The vendor's work is concentrated in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC codes covering forest/range improvements and land treatment practices. The company operates with no subcontract footprint and receives no sub-awards; all work is performed in-house as a prime contractor to land management agencies in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain regions.
