Blanket Purchase Agreement 140F0422A0031

The Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI FWS) awarded a $5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Sebs Corporation, Inc. to deliver approximately 1,000 - 3,000 tons of alfalfa pellets for the National Elk Refuge in Wyoming. The BPA has a period of performance through June 30, 2027 and was not set aside for small businesses. Three BPA calls totaling $1.5 million have been issued to date, with Sebs providing around 3,600 tons of alfalfa pellets. The most recent call was a $787,720 firm-fixed price contract for 1,810.85 tons of alfalfa pellets with an August 2023 completion date. The original solicitation for the BPA was set aside for total small business. The alfalfa pellets are likely used for the winter feeding of elk at the National Elk Refuge.

This BPA supports the DOI FWS's wildlife feeding programs, with Sebs Corporation, a for-profit manufacturer and Subchapter S Corporation, serving as the prime contractor. Sebs has provided alfalfa pellets to Interior agencies like the National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service since at least 2020. The company has also participated as a subawardee under a Department of Energy grant for biomass energy research. The contracted alfalfa pellet deliveries enable the National Elk Refuge to feed elk during the winter months.
