ZFE LLC

ZFE LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Mars, Pennsylvania, provides herbicide application and invasive species management services to the federal government as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides on firm fixed-price purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements. The company is a limited liability company structured as a for-profit entity specializing in forest vegetation control and pest management across federal water resource installations and Army Corps of Engineers projects.

ZFE LLC's customer base concentrates entirely within the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, with five awards across three district offices. The Engineering District Pittsburgh commands the largest share, delivering $553 thousand in combined potential value across two awards: a $500 thousand Blanket Purchase Agreement for invasive species and pest control services (issued May 12, 2026, running through May 11, 2029) and a BPA call for $52,757 in pest and invasive species management at Tionesta Lake and Michael J. Kirwan Reservoir (awarded June 25, 2026, completing August 31, 2026). Engineering District Baltimore holds two awards totaling $330 thousand in combined potential value — a $185,667 firm fixed-price purchase order for herbicide application at the Raystown Lake Project with option year exercise (awarded February 1, 2022, completing January 31, 2027) and a $144,550 purchase order for forest herbicide application services (awarded September 12, 2025, completing July 31, 2026). Engineering District Philadelphia contributed one award of $67,048 for herbicide spraying at Northern Area Dams (completed July 15, 2023).

Recent activity spans four years with one award in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2025, and two in 2026, indicating growing engagement with the Corps of Engineers. ZFE LLC holds a single active BPA vehicle — the $500 thousand DLA single-award agreement — which has generated one task order to date. One award (the Raystown Lake contract) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete. Combined potential value across all awards is $950 thousand, with $450 thousand currently obligated. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime and does not maintain subcontract relationships. Work is performed at federal installations throughout Pennsylvania, with performance sites including Tionesta Lake, Raystown Lake, and the Northern Area Dams.
