Att_3_Seed_Analysis_Request_Form_revised_072024.docx

This is a Seed Analysis Request Form that serves as an authorization document for contractors to submit seed lots for testing under a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) native seed production contract. Contractors are required to complete Section A of the form for each seed lot being delivered, providing seed vendor information, contact email, species and variety details, eco-region classification, seed lot number, spreadsheet ID, and delivery locations with quantities across three BLM facilities: Boise, Ely, and Shoshone. The form identifies specific tests available, including purity analysis, tetrazolium (TZ) testing, noxious weed screening for all western states, species verification for annual non-native bromes, and rush identification. Test results are returned to both the seed vendor and the BLM at blm_id_seed_all@blm.gov.

All seed sampling and testing costs are borne by the contractor, who must authorize the seed lab to release results to the government upon completion. Section B is completed by the BLM sampler or affiliated agency personnel and documents sampling details including total certified and non-certified pounds, number of bags selected and sampled, bag size, source identification, sampling date, and any area of concern (AOC) notations. The form establishes the administrative process for quality assurance and regulatory compliance for native seed deliveries under Executive Order 14398's Native Seed Production initiative supporting multiple federal agencies across western United States regions.
