France Custom Farming LLC

France Custom Farming LLC, a small business sole proprietorship based in Idaho Falls, Idaho, provides soil fumigant and pesticide application services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. All thirteen recent awards derive from USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), with twelve concentrated in Plant Protection and Quarantine operations focused on potato cyst nematode (PCN) eradication in Bingham County, Idaho.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on aerial and ground application of soil fumigants — primarily Telone II (1,3-dichloropropene) — across acreages ranging from 454 to 755 acres in Idaho potato fields infested with plant pests. Representative work includes a $87.6 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded August 1, 2024, for aerial application of Telone II soil fumigant to 673.90 acres across multiple fields in Bingham County under a total small business set-aside; a $86.8 thousand purchase order from August 2, 2023, for chemical application services on 755 acres of PCN-infested fields; and a $36.8 thousand purchase order from August 8, 2025, for application of Telone II in Bingham County with performance through August 28, 2026. A single $46.9 thousand BPA call order from April 19, 2022, under APHIS Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services rounded out the five named awards; the portfolio also includes eight awards under APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine spanning back to 2016.

Customer concentration is absolute — APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine accounts for 12 of 13 awards and $605 thousand of the $652 thousand combined potential value. The vendor places task orders under three parent Blanket Purchase Agreements with USDA, most notably BPA 12639520A0021 (three task orders, $126 thousand combined potential value) and BPA 12639518A0032 (two task orders, $71 thousand combined potential value). Award frequency has held steady at one award per year from 2022 through 2026, with the most recent purchase order issued October 1, 2026, for $21.8 thousand to apply Telone II fumigant in Idaho fields by October 15, 2026. Combined dollars obligated total $477 thousand across the portfolio (73% of combined potential value), reflecting a small, operationally focused vendor with recurring seasonal demand tied to Idaho's potato pest-management cycle.
