About the company
Southwest Seed Inc., a small-business subchapter S corporation based in Dolores, Colorado, supplies native seeds and specialized seed mixtures to federal land-management and conservation agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under total small-business set-asides and full-and-open competitive procurements. The vendor operates 100% in prime capacity with no subcontract activity and has accumulated $10.4 million in combined potential value across 102 awards since 1993, with $6.3 million obligated to date.
The vendor's customer base is geographically and functionally concentrated in the Interior Department's land-restoration programs. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management dominates both award count and dollar value: BLM accounts for 21 awards with $2.4 million combined potential value through its Idaho Region office alone, with an additional 10 awards and $139 thousand through the Colorado Region and 4 awards for $5.2 million routed through BLM's National Office. The Department of Agriculture's Forest Service R2-Rocky Mountain Region rounds out the top customer base with 6 awards valued at $97 thousand. These five customer segments represent 61% of recent awards by count and 76% of combined potential value. Recent awards include a $38,604 total small-business purchase order from the Bureau of Indian Affairs for native seed supply supporting vegetation restoration at the Ute Mountain Ute Agency (September 2026, delivery October 30, 2026); a $72,000 five-year total small-business contract with the National Park Service Intermountain Region for native seed production through November 2027; and an $18,537 no-set-aside purchase order from Interior Region 2 for multiple seed mixes under an incident response program (August 2025). Southwest Seed's NAICS profile confirms its operational focus: "All Other Miscellaneous Crop Farming" and "Farm Supplies Merchant Wholesalers" together account for 60 of 102 awards, and the PSC code "Seeds And Nursery Stock" captures 83 awards. Activity volume has been sparse in recent years — one award each in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026 — with only $111 thousand in combined potential value across two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure for the vendor. The vendor does not participate in government-wide vehicles; its parent IDIQs and BPAs are agency-specific to Interior and Forest Service regional offices.
