About the company
Shannon Franklin, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business (self-certified WOSB and SDB) operating as a sole proprietorship from Westminster, Maryland, supplies specialized field corn and soybean seed to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes entirely within reserved procurement channels and has no presence on government-wide vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs.
Shannon Franklin operates in a hyper-concentrated customer posture: all twelve awards in the source data (spanning 2022 through April 2026) flow from a single federal customer — the USDA Agricultural Research Service Northeast Area's Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery program, which funds the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland. That single customer accounts for one hundred percent of both award count and combined potential value ($287 thousand). The vendor's geographic proximity to Beltsville — within the 60-mile dealer-location requirement specified in multiple purchase orders — is explicitly cited as a factor in contract award decisions and logistics efficiency.
Capability footprint centers on seed supply: corn seed dominates the portfolio (seven awards under NAICS 111150 — Corn Farming) with soybean seed representing secondary volume (two awards under NAICS 111110 — Soybean Farming). Named recent examples include a $33,911.04 field corn seed purchase order awarded April 22, 2025, for the 2025 growing season; a $25,869.36 order placed April 9, 2026, for 106-day and 110-day maturity corn seed with specified disease tolerance and herbicide-tolerance traits; and a $23,546.52 award in February 2023 for Agrigold-brand corn and soybean seed. All work is performed at or delivered to the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center.
Activity averages one award per year with no growth trajectory — steady, low-volume, renewal-based ordering pattern characteristic of a single customer's recurring seed supply needs. All potential-value dollars have been obligated (100% obligated rate), indicating completed or near-completion performance on purchase orders rather than open or at-risk work.
