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

This is a Seed Bid Solicitation Sheet for the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) seeking multiple contract awards for the supply of various native and cultivated seeds for summer 2026 delivery. The solicitation requests seeds across three primary lifeform categories—grasses (items 1-111), grass-like species including bulrushes and sedges (items 112-133), forbs (items 134-267), and shrubs (items 268-311)—with quantities ranging from as few as 10 bulk pounds for specialized species to as many as 40,000 bulk pounds for small burnet. Bidders must fill only the yellow-highlighted columns in the provided spreadsheet, including delivery date, certification class offered, variety/source/seed zone offered, germination percentage, purity percentage, pure live seed (PLS) percentage, bulk price per pound, and preferred laboratory choice. Seeds cannot be delivered prior to August 3, 2026, with September 3, 2026 identified as the preferred delivery date, though later dates will be considered on a per-item basis. The contract term encompasses delivery of all awarded items within the specified timeframes.

Pricing will be evaluated based on the lowest PLS price per pound carried to three decimal places, with award amounts calculated as bulk price per pound rounded to two decimal places. All bid prices must include delivery to the Great Basin Research Center Seed Warehouse in Ephraim, Utah, with the bidder responsible for any transit damage and seeds required to be delivered on pallets not exceeding 2,500 pounds each. Certification requirements are specified for each line item and may include Certified (C), Non-Certified (NC), Selected (S), Source Identified (SID), or Variety Not Stated (VNS) classifications. Species requiring High Confidence Sampling and Testing include rabbitbrush low and whitestem rubber, kochia forage, and multiple sagebrush varieties. Approved testing may be performed only by official state seed laboratories from designated states, private laboratories (Precision Seed Testing and Agri Seed Testing Inc.), or any USDA-approved accredited seed entity with appropriate accreditation scope. Preference may be given to certified seed or requested varieties, though bidders may offer alternative varieties or sources if not specified in other line items and if the original source material originates within the requested seed zone.
