2025 Ponderosa Pine Seed Purchase, Klamath Falls, Oregon

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon-Washington Region is seeking to procure Ponderosa Pine Seed from specific geographic zones (722/721) through a single-source procurement. The agency intends to award a firm-fixed-price commercial supply contract to Cal Forest Nurseries, Inc. located in Etna, California, for seeds collected during the 2024 bumper crop year. While the procurement appears focused on a specific supplier, the synopsis indicates that all responsible sources may submit quotations for consideration. The contract will be categorized under NAICS code 113210 (Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products) with a small business size standard of $20.5 million. The solicitation will utilize the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13-106(b) for procurement procedures.

The opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, which means only small businesses are eligible to compete for the contract. The performance period for this seed purchase is relatively short, spanning from February 10, 2025, through March 9, 2025. Cal Forest Nurseries is the intended sole-source provider, having collected the specific Ponderosa Pine Seed during an exceptional growing season in 2024. The procurement will be classified under Product Service Code (PSC) 8730 for Seeds and Nursery Stock. While specific quantity details are not explicitly stated, the synopsis suggests the procurement is for a specific volume of processed Ponderosa Pine Seed from designated geographic zones, which will support the BLM's forestry and conservation efforts in the Oregon-Washington region.
