Conifer Seedling Production

The contract involves the production of conifer tree seedlings grown from seeds harvested at the Bureau of Land Management’s Oregon/Washington seed orchards. These orchards serve as a critical seed source for reforestation efforts following timber harvests and wildfires, supporting not only BLM operations but also more than 40 Federal, Tribal, State, and private entities across the Pacific Northwest. The contract is essential to ensuring that the BLM OR/WA and its partners have access to the seedlings required to fulfill their legally mandated reforestation responsibilities. This solicitation, identified by number AG_DOI_BLM_OR_26_00344, is currently in the forecast stage with the type of set-aside yet to be determined. It falls under the NAICS code 111199, related to forestry services. The Bureau of Land Management, under the Department of the Interior, is overseeing this contract, with Joseph Duncan listed as both the point of contact and small business specialist. The failure to award this contract would jeopardize the availability of necessary seeds, thus hindering reforestation efforts mandated by law throughout the region.
