Maple Leaf Company

Maple Leaf Company, a for-profit manufacturer of native plant seeds and seed mixing services based in Ephraim, Utah, supplies ecological restoration materials to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes entirely full-and-open (no set-asides) under NAICS 113210 (Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products) and PSC code for seeds and nursery stock.

The customer footprint is concentrated in Interior Department land-management agencies. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region dominates the vendor's awards by both volume and value — 40 awards (71% of the top-five customer set) for $7.3 million combined potential value — reflecting a continuous supplier relationship dating to 2006. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Intermountain Region (Region 4) is the second-largest customer, with 14 awards for $439 thousand combined potential value, primarily for post-fire seed rehabilitation work such as the July 2024 Silver King Emergency Fire Incident seed-mix purchase order valued at $13,700. The remaining active customers — the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office, Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6, and Forest Service Region 3 — account for smaller volumes.

Maple Leaf Company's capability portfolio consists of sourcing, mixing, and delivering native grasses, forbs, shrubs, sagebrush, and specialist seed varieties for revegetation and habitat restoration across western federal lands. The vendor executes this work through two primary vehicle types: definitive contracts and purchase orders issued under seasonal consolidated seed buy solicitations (Spring and Fall), and task orders under a $500,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with BLM Idaho Region established July 24, 2023, running through July 17, 2028. Recent awards include a $327,395 definitive contract for Fall FY26-2 Consolidated Seed Buy (August 7, 2026, completion December 17, 2026), a $384,070 contract for Spring FY26-1 seed supply (March 2, 2026, completion May 22, 2026), and a $200,000 seed-mixing BPA task order (May 19, 2025, completion July 31, 2027). All work is performed in-house at the Ephraim, Utah facility.

Activity has remained modest and flat — two to five awards annually across 2022 through 2026 — with 117 total awards in the source data. Two awards (combined potential value $527 thousand) reach completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. Award obligations have slightly exceeded potential value, with $10 million obligated against $9.5 million combined potential value ceiling, indicating the vendor consistently fulfills contract scope and exercises option quantities within original estimates.
