Blanket Purchase Agreement 140L2619A0002

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Region has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Montana State University (MSU), a U.S. state government entity and 1862 land grant college, for $250,000 to provide laboratory testing services, specifically seed testing, in support of the agency's land management and native plant restoration efforts in the Idaho region. The BPA is effective from April 4, 2024, through March 31, 2029, and allows for the issuance of recurring task orders, with one such task already awarded for $10,000.

Under this agreement, MSU will leverage its scientific expertise and capabilities in areas such as agriculture, environmental science, and engineering to deliver analytical testing services at its facility in Bozeman, Montana. The contract does not include any set-aside designations, reflecting MSU's role as a prime contractor with extensive experience in providing diverse services to various federal agencies, including NASA, NOAA, BLM, Forest Service, and Navy Medicine. The BPA and associated task orders demonstrate the ongoing partnership between MSU and the BLM, enabling the efficient procurement of the university's specialized seed testing services to support the agency's land management initiatives in the Idaho region.
