Araujo Arcos, Anibal A

Araujo Arcos, Anibal A, operating as Monarch Seed Division, is a Hispanic American-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged sole proprietorship based in Centerfield, Utah that supplies native plant seeds to the federal government as a prime contractor under full-and-open competitive procurement. The vendor holds no parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs and operates exclusively as a direct awardee on definitive contracts and purchase orders.

Monarch Seed's federal work centers entirely on native seed procurement for land management and revegetation. The vendor supplies native grasses, forbs, shrubs, sagebrush, and kochia seeds in quantities ranging from $11,500 to $1.78 million per award. Representative recent work includes a $1.78 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract from the Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region for the FY24-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy (completed January 2025), a $794,792 definitive contract for the FY25-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy (completion date January 23, 2026), and a $382,250 definitive contract for the FY26-1 Spring Consolidated Seed Buy (completion date May 22, 2026). All awards are classified under NAICS 113210 (Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products) and PSC code for Seeds and Nursery Stock.

Customer concentration is absolute: all ten awards in the source data originate from the Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region, representing 100% of both award count and combined potential value of $4.3 million. The vendor participates in the BLM's semi-annual consolidated seed buy program — alternating spring and fall solicitations — which structures competitive procurements across multiple awards to responsible offerors serving the BLM's national fire and vegetation management programs across Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming. No set-asides are used; the vendor competes on a full-and-open, best-value basis against other seed suppliers.

Activity has remained consistent at two awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with one award in 2026. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and generates no revenue through sub-award relationships. All obligations have been received in full against potential value, indicating strong payment execution across the portfolio.
