Yard Chief Yard Care, Inc.

Yard Chief Yard Care, Inc. operates as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) prime contractor based in Anchorage, Alaska, providing grounds maintenance, landscaping, cemetery operations, janitorial services, and snow removal to federal agencies. The company competes predominantly as a prime under full-and-open and set-aside vehicles, with no subcontractor footprint across its recent award history.

Yard Chief Yard Care is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business. The company holds SDVOSB certification, which anchors eligibility on several of its larger indefinite delivery contracts and underpins its competitive posture with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Primary work falls under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and NAICS 812220 (Cemeteries and Crematories), with secondary activity in janitorial and facility maintenance; the PSC profile reflects 46 awards under Housekeeping–Landscaping/Groundskeeping, 11 under Housekeeping–Custodial Janitorial, and 7 under Housekeeping–Snow Removal/Salt.

The company's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The top five agencies account for 67% of awards by count and 87% of combined potential value. The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration dominates at 33 awards worth $22.6 million combined potential value, anchored by a $4.54 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded on August 1, 2022, running through March 31, 2027. That IDC covers grounds maintenance and landscaping at Fort Richardson National Cemetery and Sitka National Cemetery in Alaska, including mowing, trimming, debris removal, snow removal, interment support, and general facility maintenance. Twelve delivery orders have been issued under this vehicle to date, ranging from $18,243 to $946,891 per order. The second-ranking customer is the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (9 awards, $4.8 million potential value), followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (14 awards, $614 thousand), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District Alaska (3 awards, $286 thousand), and others. Representative work includes a $611,802 delivery order for Fort Richardson cemetery maintenance (June 1, 2025–January 31, 2026), a $92,847 snow removal contract with NOAA for the Workforce Forecast Office in Anchorage through April 30, 2026, and an $86,540 janitorial services contract with Army Engineer District Alaska for the Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project (base year February 1, 2022–January 31, 2023, with two option years).

Activity has declined in recent years. The company received 6 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 2 in 2026, with 91 total prime awards recorded across the source's view. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, valued at $947 thousand, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The company holds four IDCs issued by Veterans Affairs: the primary $4.54 million vehicle noted above and three smaller contracts (one for $300 thousand in Sitka cemetery work and two others totaling roughly $1 million combined).

According to Service Contract Inventory records covering FY2023 and FY2024, Yard Chief Yard Care reported $1.1 million in invoiced federal service-contract revenue in FY2023 across 7.5 full-time equivalents and $1.2 million in FY2024 across 7.2 FTEs. SCI-reported government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ranged from $53.57/hr at the tenth percentile to $88.72/hr at the median and $159.25/hr at the ninety-eth percentile, reflecting a mix of entry-level and skilled labor on grounds and facility maintenance. The company performed zero subcontractor hours on its SCI-reportable contracts and operates entirely with its own labor, with no named subcontractor engagement visible across the award portfolio.
