F--WEW NATIVE PLANT MATERIALS (SIU), Northwest Oregon District BLM

The Bureau of Land Management’s Oregon State Office is seeking to award a sole-source firm fixed price contract to Heritage Seedlings, Inc. for the supply of native plant materials sourced from the West Eugene Wetlands in Northwest Oregon. Heritage Seedlings is designated as the only reasonable source due to its exclusive agreement with the BLM to collect locally adapted, ecologically appropriate native seed for use in wetland restoration projects, making this procurement eligible under FAR subpart 12.201-1. The contract period spans from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 113210 with a small business size standard of $20.5 million. This action is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, allowing only qualified small businesses to compete, though only Heritage Seedlings currently holds the required authorization to source and supply the needed materials within the designated area. The solicitation, identified by number 140L4326Q0087, was posted on July 13, 2026, with responses due by July 17, 2026. Although any responsible source may submit a quotation, the agency has indicated it will evaluate submissions with full recognition of Heritage Seedlings’ unique position as the sole provider with established ecological and operational capabilities for this specific work. 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.
