About this file
This is a seed order form and bidding sheet for Mojave Desert native seed increase contracts issued by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management. The solicitation (140L0626Q0014) seeks contractors to grow out and increase native seed from government-furnished seed stock, with delivery required by December 15, 2028 or 2031 depending on the line item.
The form contains 27 line items encompassing 14 native plant species from the Mojave Desert region, including Desert Marigold, Brittlebush, Penstemon, Chia, and Desert Globemallow. For each line item, the government provides specific details in blue columns: scientific and common names, Omernik Level III ecoregion classification, seed transfer zones, generation of government-furnished seed (all G0—wildland collected), seed test dates (April-May 2026), purity and tetrazolium (TZ) test results, required minimum Pure Live Seed (PLS) ratings (ranging from 0.63 to 0.72), and the amount of PLS seed provided to the grower (ranging from 0.12 to 1.5 lbs). Bidders fill in yellow columns to propose pricing for first-year field establishment and maintenance, and for subsequent harvest years (years 2-5), with contract durations of 1 to 4 years depending on whether species are annual or perennial. Target field sizes range from 0.1 to 0.75 acres. The form automatically calculates total prices based on per-year and per-acre costs, though all pricing entries currently show $0, indicating this is a template awaiting actual pricing submissions from bidders.
