4-Attachment C FY27 UDWR Fall 2026 Seed Bid.xlsx

This is a seed bid solicitation spreadsheet issued by the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) for the provision of various seeds to support wildfire recovery and habitat restoration efforts. The solicitation requests an extensive range of native grasses, forbs (herbaceous plants), and shrub seeds across multiple species and varieties, with requested quantities ranging from 50 pounds to 250,000 pounds per line item. The bid includes 182 total line items, with most deliveries requested within 10 days of award; however, 2026 harvest shrub items and select other materials have a later delivery date of February 18, 2027, with the stipulation that these items should not be delivered before January 4, 2027. The bid solicitation includes specifications for seed certification classes (Certified, Non-certified, Selected, Source Identified, and Variety Not Stated) and Seed Transfer Zone requirements. No specific response deadline, bidders' conference date, or award date is stated in the provided document.

Awards will be made on a multiple purchase order basis using a lowest pure live seed (PLS) price per pound methodology, with PLS pricing carried to three decimal places and rounded to the nearest three decimals for bid ranking. Bid prices must include delivery to the Great Basin Research Center Seed Warehouse in Ephraim, Utah, with all seed delivered on pallets not exceeding 2,500 pounds, and vendors are responsible for transit damage. The solicitation specifies that certain species—including Rabbitbrush, Kochia Forage, and multiple Sagebrush varieties—require high confidence sampling and testing from approved seed laboratories (official state seed laboratories or designated private laboratories). Past performance, including failure to supply awarded seed, late delivery, and failure to meet specifications, may be considered in award decisions. Vendor pricing must be guaranteed through delivery, and preference may be given to items meeting the specified delivery timeline, though later deliveries will be considered based on the state's needs.
