F--CA-KLAMATH BSN NWR-NATIVE PLANT RESTORAT

The Department of the Interior, through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is seeking a small business contractor to provide native plant restoration services for a 223.1-acre wetland reserve easement located at 19909 Skeen Ranch Road in Sprague River, Oregon. This firm-fixed-price purchase order involves a sequence of site preparation and vegetation establishment, specifically requiring one mowing event to leave vegetation at a height of 6 inches, the aerial application of government-furnished native seed at a rate of 12.7 lbs pure live seed per acre, and an optional post-seeding rolling event to be completed within 24 hours of seeding. The overall period of performance spans from September 28, 2026, through March 15, 2027, with mowing required by October 31, 2026, and a preferred seeding window between November 1 and November 15, 2026. This acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside with a size standard of 9.5 million dollars. Award will be based on a best-value determination, weighing technical capability and past performance approximately equal to price. Key evaluation factors include experience with mowing on uneven terrain, aerial seed application, and the ability to manage weather-dependent work. Contractors must be active in the System for Award Management and submit all payment requests electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform. The government will evaluate quotations based on the contractor's ability to handle bulk project materials and their record of successful completion of comparable restoration services within the last five years.
