Natural Resources/Conservation- Aerial Seeding

PSC F002 - Natural Resources/Conservation Aerial Seeding encompasses a range of aerial vegetation management and restoration services primarily focused on federal land management. These services include broadcast seeding, sagebrush and grass restoration, wildfire rehabilitation, and ecological site restoration using specialized aerial application techniques. Contractors utilize GPS-guided equipment to precisely distribute seeds across varied terrains, supporting environmental conservation efforts on public lands managed by federal agencies.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate consistent activity, with typical contract values ranging from $10,000 to $607,404 and performance periods spanning several months to over two years. Most awards are set aside for small businesses and frequently involve the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Department of Agriculture. Recurring contractors include Crop Jet Aviation, Leading Edge Aviation, Morris AG Air Southwest, and High Desert Aviation. These contracts predominantly cover western states like Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico, focusing on post-wildfire rehabilitation, rangeland restoration, and vegetation management on public lands.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities continue the pattern of ecological restoration projects, with solicitations seeking aerial seeding services across multiple states. Notable opportunities include a BLM Idaho broadcast seeding project covering 120,489 acres, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service aerial seeding project at Hill Air Force Base involving 1,500 acres, and a Forest Service South Fork Aerial Seeding & Mulching project in New Mexico. These opportunities consistently emphasize small business participation, precise GPS-guided seeding techniques, and restoration of fire-damaged or ecologically sensitive landscapes, with performance periods typically ranging from January to March 2025.
