BCMA and TRAQ certified personnel on staff. Zero-damage record across 9 federal contracts. Multi-agency prime past performance across NPS, USACE, and NCA — specific contracts, specific metrics, ready for your proposal sections. SDVOSB set-aside eligible.
BCMA and TRAQ certified personnel on staff — credentials that directly appear in technical evaluation criteria on environmental, life-safety, and right-of-way solicitations. Of all identified competitors in the federal vegetation space, zero list a BCMA credential online. Adding The Arborist to your team puts a credential on your proposal that evaluators cannot find elsewhere.
Nine federal prime contracts across NPS, USACE, and NCA — with specific agency names, contract numbers (PIIDs), dollar values, and verifiable metrics. Past performance narratives are available in proposal-ready format on request. Every metric on our past performance hub is verifiable through agency records.
Thirty-six months. Nine contracts. Three agencies. Zero damage incidents to infrastructure, gravesites, archaeological resources, or regulatory compliance. For primes, a sub's damage record is a liability exposure question. The Arborist removes that risk entirely — documented and verifiable.
The Arborist is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). For primes pursuing set-aside contracts or seeking to demonstrate small business utilization, teaming with The Arborist satisfies SDVOSB subcontracting requirements while adding a technically differentiated vegetation capability to your team.
The Arborist positions as infrastructure risk reduction, safety compliance execution, right-of-way reliability, and emergency response — not tree services. This language aligns directly with federal acquisition language across environmental, life-safety, and right-of-way solicitations. It strengthens proposal narrative and technical approach sections.
Demonstrated operations at active federal sites with 1,200+ daily visitors present and zero closures required. For solicitations that specify continuity of operations as a performance requirement — and many do — The Arborist provides documented proof of no-shutdown execution that most subs cannot offer.

"Vegetation management operations will be performed under the direct supervision of an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist (BCMA) on staff — a credential held by fewer than 1,300 professionals globally. All tree risk assessments will be conducted by TRAQ-qualified personnel on staff, producing formal risk documentation that meets the ISA standard for defensible federal risk decisions. The teaming partner has performed 9 federal prime contracts across NPS, USACE, and NCA with zero damage incidents across 36 months of performance."
