The contract is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Oregon State Office, located in Portland, with Tiffany Eslinger listed as the primary point of contact. Performance will occur within the West Eugene Wetlands, though the exact location details are not specified in the posting. All potential offerors are encouraged to respond by the deadline, but the nature of the requirement strongly favors Heritage Seedlings as the anticipated award recipient.

BLM FY26-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy.The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Department of the Interior and managed by the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, is seeking seed supplies through Solicitation 140L3726R0004 for fall delivery under the FY26-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy. The contract, structured as a Firm Fixed Price agreement, requires vendors to deliver certified and non-certified wildland seed lots that meet strict BLM-established Pure Live Seed (PLS) thresholds, origin verification standards, and labeling requirements. Key delivery locations include the BLM Boise Liberty Warehouse in Idaho and the Ely Regional Seed Warehouse in Nevada, with delivery windows scheduled between August 17 and December 17, 2026. All shipments must adhere to F.O.B. Destination terms, meaning contractors bear full responsibility for transportation, handling, and unloading costs, and deliveries must occur at the specified warehouse docking areas. Seed must be packaged in approved poly or woven sacks—burlap is prohibited—with additional requirements such as double-bagging for Needle and Thread grass and lined paper bags for chemically treated seed, complete with Safety Data Sheets. Refrigerated transport is mandatory for specific species including sagebrush and forage kochia from March through October, with temperatures strictly maintained at or below 32°F. Compliance with documentation and traceability standards is critical. All non-certified wildland seed must be accompanied by the completed AOC Statement (Attachment 2), verifying exact collection origins including state, county, elevation, latitude, and longitude, with legal penalties under 18 U.S.C. 1001 for falsification. Each seed lot requires an analysis tag affixed to every bag listing species, purity, germination (TZ), inert content, weed content, origin zone, and government SSID, along with a Seed Analysis Request Form (Attachment 3) and an itemized delivery sheet (Attachment 4). Seed testing must be conducted by BLM-approved laboratories in specified western states, and contractors are responsible for all testing fees. The evaluation criteria prioritize technical acceptability under the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) framework, with PLS price per pound as the primary pricing metric, but superior past performance can override lower bids if deemed critical to mission success. Vendors must provide three recent, unrelated references demonstrating successful seed delivery history. The contract includes a unilateral government option to purchase additional quantities within 120 days of the bid closing, with
