Business Size Standard $9.5 million

The object of this sole source award to BRADSHAW

TREE II INC is for the planting of 130,800 bare-root seedlings of the following species:

Nuttall Oak, Pin Oak, Overcup Oak, Persimmon, &

Pecan (equal proportions of each species). Other sources available for this service will not have the tree species required in time to meet the planting time frame. Additionally, due to the project environment (Osage Clay soils) the contractor must have a planting machine mounted on the 3-point hitch of a tractor with front wheel assist and dual rear wheels. The planting machine must have a 36-inch coulter wheel to cut through the soil plow pan to ensure greater seedling survival. Packing wheels or down-pressure must be adjustable in order to close the kerf on the seedlings to ensure good root-to-soil contact.

While on site, the contractor must store seedlings in a refrigerated semi-truck (reefer unit) to prevent drying and maintain proper temperature.

This synopsis does not constitute a solicitation;

however, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. If parties choose to respond, any cost associated with preparation and submission of data or any other cost incurred in response to this announcement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Government.

Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address:

lydia_patrick@fws.gov.

Period of Performance: 03/01/2024 to 04/20/2024
