The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 awarded a $321,615 definitive contract on January 15, 2025, to Benson Farms, Inc., a small business specializing in native plant production and ecosystem restoration services. This total small business set-aside contract calls for the production and delivery of approximately 153,000 native plant plugs for wildland fire rehabilitation and replanting efforts at the Hanford Reach National Monument in Washington state. The deliverables include 65,000 Wyoming sagebrush plugs, 15,000 Antelope bitterbrush plugs, 20,000 rabbitbrush plugs, and 53,000 native grass plugs, all sourced from the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion and grown in eight-inch or ten-inch tubing containers. Plant materials must be certified weed-free and delivered to the ALE Shop Rattlesnake Unit in Mattawa, Washington, with completion targeted for fall/winter 2025 or January 2026. The contract is scheduled for ultimate completion by December 31, 2025.
Benson Farms, Inc., based in Moses Lake, Washington, brings substantial relevant experience to this project, having served federal land management agencies since 2003 through numerous native seed and plant production contracts across multiple western ecoregions. The company currently holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle blanket purchase agreements, including a $50 million contract with the USDA Forest Service and a $3 million contract with the National Park Service, positioning it well to execute specialized restoration projects. This contract supports the Fish and Wildlife Service's broader mission of habitat restoration and land stewardship at Hanford Reach National Monument, utilizing Benson Farms' core competencies in native plant propagation and delivery to support post-fire rehabilitation initiatives.
