The Plantworks LLC

The Plantworks LLC, a woman-owned small business limited liability company based in Cove, Oregon, supplies native deciduous seedlings and shrub tube seedlings for ecological restoration and land management to the Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime, competing across nearly eighty federal awards spanning the past two decades in seedling production, forestry support activities, and native plant material supply.

The Plantworks' capability portfolio centers on growing and delivering native deciduous species — willow, cottonwood, aspen, and mixed shrub stock — in gallon containers and plug formats to support reforestation, wetland restoration, riparian rehabilitation, and habitat recovery on national forests and public lands across the Pacific Northwest. Representative work includes a $122,400 BPA call from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (August 2026) procuring native shrub tube seedlings for the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge in Plush, Oregon, completion February 2028; a $69,948 Forest Service BPA call order (March 2024) for 4,410 deciduous seedlings delivered in 2024–2025; and a $77,624 Forest Service BPA call (April 2023) for 7,333 seedlings in fiscal 2023 and 4,500 in fiscal 2024. All recent awards carry total small business set-aside designations.

Customer concentration is highly skewed toward the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. The top five customer entities by award count account for 78% of recent awards, with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington region anchoring volume (32 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value) and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region placing the second-largest count (20 awards, $6.5 million). However, the dollar rankings diverge sharply — the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions single award dominates combined potential value at $50 million, a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement running through March 2033 that facilitates land management integrated resources services, including plant material production and restoration work, across all USDA Forest Service locations nationwide.

The Plantworks holds a $50 million single-award BPA with the USDA Forest Service (effective March 2023 through March 2033) for integrated land management resources services. Task orders under this and related Forest Service IDIQs (including INL08PC90412, AG046WB170012, and AG04R3C100014) represent the bulk of the parent-vehicle footprint, with 26 to 5 task orders per vehicle. The vendor also places orders under a $999,999.99 multiple-award IDIQ for noxious weed treatment services and works under the Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA (LMIR), which is the parent BPA for several smaller task orders with Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management units.

Activity has remained modest and episodic — one award in 2022, two in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026 — with only three awards (combined potential value $190 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Award categories concentrate in soil preparation, planting, and cultivating (39 awards, primary NAICS 111421) and support activities for forestry (30 awards), with seedling production and natural resources conservation work dominating PSC codes. Combined potential value across the portfolio sits at $59 million, but only $2 million (3%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the predominantly IDV-based structure and the heavy weighting toward the single $50 million Forest Service agreement.
