Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document is a set of specifications for greenhouse growing media. The required media must be composed of 90% fine cut Canadian sphagnum peat moss and 10% fine grade horticultural perlite. The media must have a pH range of 4.0 to 6.0 after wetting, and include a wetting agent and starter nutrient charge. The specifications align with those for Pac Fibre Soils Germination Mix or Scotts Forestry Mix (Sunshine Redi-earth Plug & Seedling Mix) or equivalent products. The media must not contain lime, dolomitic, calcitic additives or perlite.

The related federal contract opportunity is a sources sought notice from the USDA Forest Service Region 2 - Rocky Mountain Region, seeking to identify small disadvantaged veteran-owned businesses (SDVOB) capable of providing the specified growing media for the Nebraska National Forest/Bessey Nursery. The purpose is to conduct market research, not to award a contract from this announcement. Respondents are encouraged to submit information on their capabilities to fulfill this requirement.
