Maple Leaf Company

Maple Leaf Company, a for-profit manufacturer of native plant seeds and seed mixing services based in Ephraim, Utah, operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) supplying seeds and ecological restoration materials to federal land-management agencies under full-and-open, no-set-aside competitions. The company competes in NAICS 113210 (Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products) and carries PSC 'Seeds and Nursery Stock' across 104 of its 116 recent awards, with no documented subcontract footprint or participation in government-wide vehicles.

Maple Leaf's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management. The BLM Idaho Region accounts for 71% of award count and dominates potential value at $7 million across 39 awards, with an additional 19 awards from the broader BLM organization. The Department of Agriculture's Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region provides the second-tier customer relationship, contributing 14 awards valued at $439 thousand for post-fire seed mix and revegetation support. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, BLM National Office, Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6, and Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region round out the distinct customer set, collectively accounting for 11 awards. Dollar concentration tracks award concentration — the BLM Idaho Region represents $7 million of the $9.2 million combined potential value (84% coverage).

Maple Leaf's core capability work centers on two contract types: (1) consolidated seasonal seed buys providing multiple varieties and quantities of native grasses, forbs, shrubs, and sagebrush for revegetation and habitat restoration, exemplified by the $645,242.50 BLM FY24-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy awarded August 13, 2024, the $384,070 BLM FY26-1 Spring Consolidated Seed Buy awarded March 2, 2026, and the $224,360.50 BLM FY23-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy awarded August 10, 2023; and (2) seed mixing services delivered under a single-award $500,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the BLM Idaho Region (July 24, 2023 through July 17, 2028), under which three task orders valued at $112,107, $124,075.50, and $200,000 have been issued as of May 19, 2025. A $13,700 purchase order from the Forest Service for seed mix supporting the Silver King Emergency Fire Incident rehabilitation (July 16, 2024) represents minor disaster-response work. All work is performed at Maple Leaf's Ephraim, Utah facility.

Activity has remained flat to slightly declining over the past five years — two awards in 2022 declining to one in 2026 within the snapshot window — with a combined potential value of $9.2 million against $9.7 million in obligated dollars. Only one award, the $200,000 seed mixing BPA call, reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. Maple Leaf does not appear on any named government-wide acquisition contracts, multiple award schedules, or agency-wide IDIQs beyond its single-award BPA. The vendor's relationship with the BLM Idaho Region spans decades — internal source material references continuous engagement since 2006 — making it a specialized, regional native seed supplier with deep institutional presence but narrow competitive scope.
