Parrott Investment Company, Inc.

Parrott Investment Company, Inc., doing business as Llano Seco Rancho, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Chico, California, that provides water delivery services to federal wildlife refuges and renewable energy development support as a prime recipient and contractor. The company operates exclusively in the prime capacity (100% of recent awards) with no subcontracting footprint, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations.

Llano Seco Rancho's federal work centers on two distinct capability areas: water delivery for habitat management at Fish and Wildlife Service refuges in California, and rural renewable energy and efficiency improvement grants from the Department of Agriculture. Water delivery work comprises the majority of the contract portfolio — the company has held recurring annual purchase orders from the Fish and Wildlife Service since 2021 to deliver water via riparian water rights from the Sacramento River to flood approximately 750 acres of managed wetlands at the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Recent water-delivery contracts include a $59,036 purchase order to the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge Complex awarded July 13, 2026 (ultimate completion May 31, 2027), a $54,260 order awarded August 21, 2025 (ultimate completion May 31, 2029), and a $33,664 order awarded September 26, 2024 (ultimate completion May 31, 2025). On the grant side, the company received a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Energy for America Program (CFDA 10.868) on December 16, 2024, to develop renewable energy systems and implement energy efficiency improvements over a 24-month performance period ending December 16, 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service across multiple regions. Fish and Wildlife Service awards account for 76% of recent awards and 73% of combined potential value across customer agencies, with the largest cluster split between Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (nine awards, $390 thousand combined potential value) and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 (three awards, $147 thousand combined potential value). The Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services contributes three awards but no disclosed potential value in the contract subset shown. The vendor's category concentration skews heavily toward water utilities (16 awards under PSC Utilities-Water) and water supply and irrigation systems (eight awards under NAICS Water Supply and Irrigation Systems). Recent activity is low and flat: one award each in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026, with two awards annually in 2024. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $59 thousand), representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. Combined obligated dollars across all awards ($2.4 million) exceed combined potential value ($942 thousand), indicating multi-year obligations and recurring renewals typical of ongoing water-delivery service contracts.
