About this file
The document is a detailed bid sheet for the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management's Great Plains Small Lot Seed Production contract (Solicitation Number: 140L0625Q0039). The bid sheet provides a comprehensive listing of native seed species for small-scale production, focusing on graminoids and forbs from specific ecoregions in the Wyoming Basin and Northwestern Great Plains.
The spreadsheet includes 16 line items of native seeds such as sideoats grama, blue grama, prairie junegrass, basin wildrye, western wheatgrass, and various forbs like common yarrow, showy milkweed, and Rocky Mountain beeplant. Each line item specifies detailed requirements including scientific and common names, seed transfer zones, generation of government-furnished seed, purity test results, required minimum Pure Live Seed (PLS) rating, and a required delivery date of 3/31/30. The bid sheet is structured to allow growers to input first-year establishment prices and subsequent harvest year prices, with most species targeted for 2-4 years of production. Notably, all listed seeds are generation G0 (wildland collected), and the target field sizes range between 0.1 and 1 acre.
