BOUMA JAMES H

Bouma James H specializes in the production and supply of weed seed-free grass for federal land management purposes, with a demonstrated focus on ecological restoration and invasive species mitigation. The contractor delivers certified forage materials that meet strict federal phytosanitary standards, ensuring the prevention of non-native plant introduction in sensitive natural areas. Their technical expertise lies in agronomic practices tailored to preserve native ecosystem integrity, including seed cleaning, testing, and certification protocols aligned with USDA and National Park Service guidelines. This specialization in weed-free forage production represents a niche capability critical to maintaining biodiversity in protected landscapes, particularly in arid and alpine environments where invasive grasses threaten native vegetation. The contractor has established a direct working relationship with the Department of the Interior, providing essential forage materials for Glacier National Park and likely other units under its jurisdiction. This engagement reflects a trusted supplier relationship focused on habitat preservation, trail rehabilitation, and firebreak establishment using ecologically sound vegetation. The inclusion of option years in the award suggests a pattern of recurring, mission-critical support tied to long-term land management planning cycles. The primary NAICS code, 111940—Hay Farming—applies here not to commercial livestock feed production, but to the specialized cultivation of certified, low-invasive seed stock for federal conservation projects. This positions the contractor within the environmental services segment of agricultural production, serving federal land stewardship missions rather than commercial agriculture markets. Bouma James H operates as a small, locally based entity in Choteau, Montana, with no federal certifications on record. Their market positioning is defined by geographic proximity to key Interior Department lands and deep familiarity with Northern Plains and Rocky Mountain ecological requirements. Their capability is rooted in place-based agronomic knowledge and compliance with federal seed certification standards.
