BLM FY25-2 Fall Consolidated Seed Buy.

The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region is conducting a Fall 2025 Consolidated Seed Buy through Solicitation Number 140L3725R0006, seeking to procure various native and adapted seed species including grasses, forbs, shrubs, kochia, and sagebrush varieties for land restoration and conservation projects. The procurement covers multiple seed types such as Siberian Wheatgrass, Mountain Brome, Showy Milkweed, Indian Ricegrass, Blue Grama, Western Yarrow, and Antelope Bitterbrush, with specific requirements for certified seed, source identified seed, and selected seed categories. Bidders must provide detailed specifications including Pure Live Seed (PLS) ratings, ecoregion compliance, seed origin documentation, and delivery schedules, while maintaining registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and compliance with federal and state seed laws. The evaluation criteria emphasize seed quality factors including PLS rating, source location, clean seed designation, delivery capability, past performance, and price, with certified seed receiving preference over non-certified alternatives. The solicitation was posted on June 25, 2025, with proposals due July 15, 2025.

This procurement operates as a full and open competition with no set-aside designation, though a minimum of six awards are reserved for small businesses under NAICS code 113210 with a size standard of $20.5 million. Seed quantities range from 20 to 100 pounds per lot across multiple varieties, with seeds sourced from harvest years 2022 and 2023. The contract includes two delivery windows: the primary delivery period from August 15 through September 4, 2025, for most seed types, and a secondary window from November 1 through December 16, 2025, specifically for new harvest sagebrush and forage kochia. Performance locations include delivery to BLM facilities in Boise, Idaho; Ely, Nevada; and Shoshone, Idaho, supporting the agency's National Seed Warehouse System operations. The solicitation documents do not identify any current incumbents or specific contract values, focusing instead on the technical requirements and quality standards necessary for successful land management seeding projects.
