This federal contract award to Benson Farms, Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Moses Lake, Washington, is for the provision of native plant materials to support federal land management and restoration programs. The $5,156 firm-fixed-price purchase order contract, awarded on March 26, 2007, does not have a set-aside designation.
Benson Farms specializes in cultivating, propagating, harvesting, and delivering customized native grass, forb, shrub, and tree varieties to federal agencies, primarily for habitat restoration, revegetation, and sustainable land management initiatives. The company has extensive experience fulfilling contracts with agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM), National Park Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service.
In addition to this specific contract, Benson Farms holds two significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs): a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the USDA Forest Service, and a $3 million single-award BPA with the Department of the Interior National Park Service. These IDVs position Benson Farms as a key contractor for federal land management agencies, providing a streamlined mechanism for accessing the company's specialized native plant and restoration services.
