Premier Seed Company, LLC

Premier Seed Company, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Benjamin, Utah, supplies native plant seeds to the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management and the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designation.

Premier Seed operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) in a narrow but recurring capability domain: bulk supply of native plant seeds for federal ecological restoration, fire rehabilitation, and revegetation projects. The vendor specializes in wildflower, grass, shrub, sagebrush, wheatgrass, and tree seed varieties sourced and delivered to regional BLM warehouses and field offices across the western United States. Representative work includes a $904,964.50 definitive contract from the BLM Idaho Region for the FY23-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy (awarded August 2023), a $698,475.50 contract for the FY24-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy (August 2024), and a $399,725 contract for the FY25-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy (August 2025). A $126,825 purchase order from the BLM California Region (awarded September 2021, ultimate completion September 2026) supports revegetation on Bureau-managed lands in Bishop, California. Most recently, Premier Seed received a $99,750 purchase order from the BLM Idaho Region for the FY26-1 Spring Consolidated Seed Buy (March 2026, completion May 2026). The vendor also holds a $6,920 total-small-business-set-aside purchase order from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 for bulk grass seed (6,700 pounds across six species) for the Coeur d'Alene Nursery in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest (July 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme. The BLM Idaho Region accounts for 23 of 29 awards and $7.3 million of the $7.5 million combined potential value (97% of dollars); the remaining three agencies (BLM California Region, BLM National Office, and Forest Service R1) collectively represent one percent of the portfolio. The two customer rankings are identical — the same agencies dominate both volume and value — reflecting Premier Seed's status as a specialized vendor serving a single primary customer through recurring seasonal procurement cycles (Spring and Fall Consolidated Seed Buys). Activity averages less than one award per year across the source data window, with recent volume showing no growth trajectory: two awards in 2024, three in 2025, one in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award (the $126,825 BLM California Region purchase order) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $127 thousand in recompete exposure. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint and operates no parent contract vehicles or GWACs. Premier Seed's federal footprint is fundamentally transactional — seasonal purchase orders and small definitive contracts tied to BLM's seed warehouse replenishment calendar rather than blanket-vehicle or IDIQ positioning. SAM.gov records indicate Premier Seed registration as a small disadvantaged business since 2014.
