Franck AG, LLC

Franck AG, LLC, a small business hay supplier based in Livingston, Montana, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering weed-seed-free forage and specialized hay products to federal agencies for wildlife management, with 100% of recent awards set aside for small businesses and all work rooted in a single geographic market—Yellowstone National Park bison operations.

Franck AG is a for-profit limited liability company with no subcontract activity in recent awards; all seven federal awards tracked in the source span 2024 through September 2026 and are prime contracts or task orders. The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly specialized: certified weed-seed-free hay bales (both large and small square) meeting strict forage-content specifications (no more than 60% alfalfa, current-calendar-year harvest only) for federal livestock management. NAICS 111940 (Hay Farming) and PSC 8710 (Forage and Feed) anchor 100% of awards. All work is small-business set-aside and carries no recompete pressure except for a single $19.6 thousand APHIS BPA call closing in the next twenty-four months.

Customer concentration is tightly clustered within the Department of the Interior and Department of Agriculture. The National Park Service (across two organizational units) anchors the portfolio with two awards valued at roughly $1 million in combined potential value, while APHIS holds two awards worth approximately $214 thousand combined. The Intermountain Region of the National Park Service (the Yellowstone gateway) accounts for $256 thousand in combined potential value across two awards. A single APHIS Marketing and Regulatory Programs call carries $19.6 thousand. Place of performance is exclusively Gardiner, Montana, the staging point for Yellowstone bison feed delivery.

Franck's primary parent vehicles are a five-year single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Park Service (IDC 140PS125D0002, $947.25 thousand ceiling, March 2025–September 2030) and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with APHIS (BPA 12639525A0006, $189 thousand ceiling, March 2025–July 2030). The vendor has issued two task orders against the NPS IDC and two against the APHIS BPA. Representative work includes a February 2026 small-business delivery order from NPS Intermountain Region for hay to Yellowstone ($138.32 thousand ceiling through March 2030), a July 2025 small-business BPA call from APHIS for 50–125 tons of small square bales and 200–800 tons of large square bales ($24.57 thousand), and an April 2024 100% small-business purchase order from NPS for 465 tons of large square and 100 tons of small square bales ($118.175 thousand). Combined obligated dollars across all awards are approximately $385 thousand (25% of $1.5 million combined potential value), indicating early-stage task-order execution against the two IDVs.

Activity shows growth from one award in 2024 to four in 2025, with two issued in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor operates in a highly specialized agricultural supply niche with federal customers concentrated on a single national park's bison-management programs; competitive exposure outside APHIS and NPS bison-feed procurement is minimal.
