The IFB seeks 10,000 shrub seedlings grown in PL 50 plugs with Vexar mesh packaging, with seeds to be provided by the Division of Wildlife Resources. The seedlings must be grown beginning March 15th, 2027, and be ready for pickup between October 15th and November 30th, 2027, with an optional postponement to April 1st, 2028 dependent on soil conditions.

The vendor must guarantee pricing for the duration of the contract.

Pricing for this contract will be provided on a per-seedling basis. If the nursery location is more than 120 miles from the UDWR Office at 515 E. 5300 S., South Ogden, UT 84405, the vendor must include shipping and delivery costs per seedling in their bid.
