The contract covers the production of over 15 million trees, including Western Larch, Pine, and Yellow Pine, across various genetic classes and stock types.

To be eligible, nurseries must be registered with BCBid, pre-qualified through Seedling Services, and have a proven track record of producing at least 200,000 seedlings within the last three years. The agreement is governed by the laws of British Columbia and includes strict operational standards for seedling packaging, marking, and inspection.
