Environmental Seeds West LLC

Environmental Seeds West LLC, a small disadvantaged business partnership based in Lehi, Utah, supplies native plant seeds and seed increase services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards), competing predominantly in full-and-open solicitations without set-aside designations. The company specializes in certified and non-certified grass, forb, shrub, and sagebrush seed procurement and propagation to support ecological restoration, wildfire recovery, and habitat rehabilitation across public lands in the Western United States, with operations spanning Lehi, Utah; Carpinteria, California; Connell, Washington; and Denver, Colorado.

Environmental Seeds West's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of the Interior. The Bureau of Land Management dominates both volume and dollars — the BLM Idaho Region and BLM National Office together account for 28 awards and $73.7 million in combined potential value (91% of the active portfolio). The National Park Service National Office, Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6, and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 round out the customer set. Customer concentration by ranking aligns tightly — BLM National Office leads both award count (14 awards) and potential value ($51.3 million), followed by BLM Idaho Region (14 awards, $22.4 million).

Environmental Seeds West holds three principal indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $250,000 multiple-award BPA with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 established March 2023 (supporting the First Creek Restoration project at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge and other FWS locations), a $3 million single-award BPA with the National Park Service for Intermountain West seed increase services awarded August 2022, and a $3 million single-award BPA with the National Park Service for Southwest Region seed increase services awarded August 2022. Recent definitive contract examples include a $2.31 million BLM FY25-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy (August 2025), a $1.57 million BLM FY26-1 Spring Consolidated Seed Buy (March 2026), and a $1.43 million BLM FY25-1 Spring Consolidated Seed Buy (April 2025). The company also executes smaller BPA calls against parent vehicles — a $109,200 National Park Service call for Yosemite National Park (September 2025) and a $23,602.50 Fish and Wildlife Service call for Rocky Mountain Arsenal First Creek Restoration (July 2025) exemplify recent task-order activity.

Activity has been stable with modest cyclicality: six awards in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, six in 2025, and one in early 2026. Only three awards carry ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.7 million), indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term. Environmental Seeds West acts as sub-recipient on two federal grant awards under the Nevada Department of Agriculture — participation in the Nevada Native Seed Partnership (2022) and the Nevada Drought-Resilient Native Seed Foundation Seed Program (2025) — supporting native seed stock increase for Nevada restoration efforts. The vendor's primary NAICS coding reflects seed farming (113210 and similar crop-production categories); PSC coding clusters around "Seeds and Nursery Stock" and "Natural Resources/Conservation—Seed Collection/Production." Environmental Seeds West competes effectively in open federal procurement without reliance on set-aside vehicles, leveraging established relationships with Interior agencies and demonstrated expertise in Federal Seed Act compliance and native species production across Western ecosystems.
