Flint Farms, LLC

Flint Farms, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Buckeye, Arizona, provides farming, irrigation, and ecological land-management services to the federal government as a prime contractor across two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Bureau of Reclamation. The vendor operates exclusively under non-set-aside (full-and-open) delivery orders despite holding one IDC that was solicited with a total small business set-aside; all task orders across both vehicles have been awarded without set-aside designation, indicating competitive selection on the open market.

Flint Farms' entire award footprint consists of work for one customer: the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation accounts for 100% of 22 recent awards (22 awards, $16.4 million combined potential value). The vendor holds two single-award IDCs totaling $5.2 million in ceiling value. The first IDC, awarded January 1, 2023 with a $2 million ceiling, covers farming and irrigation services at the Dennis Underwood Conservation Area and Palo Verde Ecological Reserve through December 31, 2027 and is designated for total small businesses in its solicitation. The second IDC, awarded April 1, 2024 with a $3.2 million ceiling, is dedicated to Palo Verde Ecological Reserve operations through March 31, 2029. Since 2021, Flint Farms has executed more than ten delivery orders under these vehicles, with individual task order values ranging from approximately $252,000 to $559,000.

Concrete recent work includes a $534,950 firm fixed-price delivery order awarded April 1, 2026 for farming and irrigation services at Palo Verde Ecological Reserve with completion by March 31, 2027; a $552,500 delivery order awarded April 1, 2025 for farming and maintenance services at Palo Verde with irrigation infrastructure funding through March 31, 2029; and a $376,500 delivery order awarded December 17, 2025 for irrigation and maintenance at Dennis Underwood Conservation Area with completion by December 31, 2026. Flint Farms' service scope encompasses weed control, chemical application, farming machinery operation, irrigation infrastructure maintenance, site maintenance, and general agricultural operations management at federally managed conservation areas in the western United States, with performance at Blythe, California. The vendor's work is classified under NAICS 115112 (Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating) for 20 awards and NAICS 927110 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems) for 2 awards.

Award activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years, averaging roughly three awards annually from 2023 through 2025, with only one award recorded in 2026 (the vendor's most recent activity). Two awards totaling $911,000 in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete exposure. Flint Farms operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor engagement across its award portfolio. Service Contract Inventory data covering federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows $472,000 in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue in FY2023 across 7.8 FTEs delivered as a prime contractor, with no SCI-reportable activity in FY2024; SCI figures are a strict subset of the vendor's total federal services revenue and do not capture goods-based delivery orders, which represent the bulk of Flint Farms' Bureau of Reclamation work. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable labor ran at a consistent $29.14 per hour across all percentiles.

Flint Farms has been highly successful and capable of cleaning up, developing, planting, weed control, irrigation, discing and plowing and growing on any type of land that they have worked on. They have 40 years experience running cow/calf operations and raising cattle.
