Solicitation 140L3726R0009 is a request for proposals issued by the Bureau of Land Management in coordination with the National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and US Wildland Fire Service. The objective is to acquire source-identified native plant materials for land management, restoration, and reclamation across seven regions in the western United States. The contract involves the grow-out and increase of government-provided seed, categorized into small lots of 0.1 to 1 acre and large lots exceeding 1 acre.

All harvested seed must be delivered to the BLM National Seed Warehouse in Boise, Idaho, and must be certified under the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies program for Pre-Variety Germplasm.

Key technical evaluation criteria include the location of the growing site, sowing approach, weed management, and prior experience with specific varieties. Contractors are responsible for all costs associated with bags, labeling, inspections, and certifications. Strict packaging and marking requirements are mandated, including the use of 50-pound poly or woven sacks and detailed analysis tags. Payment is processed through the Invoice Processing Platform only after seed tests are received and the government accepts the delivery. Offers are due by September 3, 2026, and must include a completed bid schedule, signed SF1449, and detailed responses to the technical and experience evaluation factors.
