About the company
Upper Colorado Environmental Plant Center, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Meeker, Colorado, produces native seeds and native plant materials for federal land management and ecological restoration agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing full-and-open with no set-aside posture. The organization operates primarily under NAICS 111998 (All Other Miscellaneous Crop Farming) and PSC codes centered on natural resources conservation seed production and seedling propagation. Over the past four years, Upper Colorado Environmental Plant Center has grown into a specialized provider of genetically appropriate, regionally sourced native seed increase services supporting post-fire recovery, invasive species control, habitat restoration, and mine and energy site reclamation across western federal lands.
Customer concentration is driven by a dominant single-award vehicle with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top customer by potential value is the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions, which anchors a $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) single-award BPA running through March 2033 — that vehicle alone represents 83% of combined potential value across all awards. The Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office places the highest award count (33 awards, $5.1 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Western Region (18 awards, $1.5 million) and the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region (17 awards, $1.2 million). Across the top five customers, the vendor captures 81% of award count but concentrates 97% of dollars in the Forest Service LMIR BPA.
Recent capability work illustrates the portfolio: a $77,253 definitive contract awarded September 25, 2026, by the Department of the Interior Idaho Region to produce native seeds under Executive Order 14398 requirements for the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service across the western United States; a $184,243 purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management National Office for Great Plains Small Lot Seed Increase supporting post-fire stabilization and invasive species control; a $450,344 NPS BPA call for Yosemite native seed increase under the LMIR BPA; and multiple smaller BPA calls from the National Park Service across Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Bryce Canyon national parks. The LMIR BPA itself generates the highest task-order volume: 44 task orders worth $2.4 million in combined potential value. The National Park Service separately holds a $3.5 million single-award BPA (140P2020A0001) from which 18 task orders have issued, with ultimate completion dates through 2028 and 2030.
Activity over the past five years shows volatility: five awards in both 2022 and 2023, then a contraction to two awards in 2024, recovery to six awards in 2025, and one award in 2026 year-to-date (through mid-October). Eight awards carrying combined potential value of $1.8 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. Combined obligations across all awards total $10.7 million against combined potential value of $60.5 million (18% obligation rate), reflecting the long-tail performance profiles typical of seed production contracts extending three to five years. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in recent federal work; the organization's capacity is concentrated in-house at its Meeker facility with satellite work at western national parks and public lands.
