About this award
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1, awarded a $22.4K firm fixed-price purchase order to Benson Farms, Inc., a small business specializing in native plant materials and ecosystem restoration services based in Moses Lake, Washington. The contract, awarded on January 23, 2026, calls for the delivery of a Columbia Basin-derived, source-identified native seed mix to support habitat restoration efforts at the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge in Irrigon, Oregon. The seed mix, which must be certified weed-free and tested within 120 days of sale, is designed to re-vegetate approximately 80 acres of land following invasive vegetation removal. The specification includes native grass species such as Indian ricegrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, needle and thread, Sandberg bluegrass, western sand dropseed, bottlebrush squirreltail, thickspike wheatgrass, and basin wildrye, packaged in standard 50-pound sacks with specified pure live seed rates.
This contract stems from a total small business set-aside solicitation (RFP 140FS126Q0001) posted on November 21, 2025, with a completion deadline of November 15, 2026. Benson Farms' selection reflects the company's extensive experience in providing native seed production and restoration services to federal land management agencies across multiple western regions. The contractor is well-positioned for this award, having established itself through numerous prior contracts with agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service, and currently holding significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts including a $50 million blanket purchase agreement with the U.S. Forest Service and a $3 million blanket purchase agreement with the National Park Service.
