About this award
Express Forestry Service, LLC, a veteran-owned small business headquartered in Leslie, Arkansas, was awarded a $61,605 firm fixed-price purchase order by the U.S. Forest Service on March 1, 2026, for seedling thinning services at the Bessey Nursery in Halsey, Nebraska. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, requires the contractor to thin seedlings across approximately 18,500 containers in Greenhouses 1-12, manually removing extra seedlings while leaving one healthy seedling per cell and removing weeds. The work must be completed by April 1, 2026, and includes reporting any insect or disease damage without disrupting root or top growth. The solicitation emphasized quality control and technical capability, requiring offerors to submit Quality Control Plans demonstrating their ability to meet performance standards.
This award aligns with the Forest Service's reforestation and nursery operations mission, supporting the agency's broader ecosystem restoration and forest stewardship initiatives across the nation's forest system. Express Forestry Service brings substantial relevant experience in nursery operations, including seedling lift and pack services and greenhouse operations, as demonstrated through its current portfolio of ten active federal indefinite delivery contracts with a combined ceiling value exceeding $100 million, the largest being a $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service awarded in May 2025.
