BLM-WY hydroseeding supplies for sagebrush steppe

The Bureau of Land Management Wyoming Region is seeking hydroseeding supplies, specifically 30,000 pounds of wood fiber hydromulch and 1,100 pounds of organic guar-based tackifier, to support habitat restoration efforts in sagebrush steppe plant communities. This procurement is structured as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items under a firm-fixed price contract. Potential vendors must be registered in SAM.gov, comply with Section 889 clauses, and submit a responsive quote that includes a signed Standard Form 1449, product specification sheets, and technical capabilities by April 14, 2025. The evaluation will utilize a lowest price technically acceptable method, with technical factors weighted more heavily than price, and will assess product information, delivery capabilities, and past performance. Quotes must remain valid for 60 days, and all documentation should be emailed to Contracting Specialist Jennifer Vedsted.

The solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 111421 (Nursery and Tree Production) with a size standard of $3.25 million. The supplies will be delivered to the BLM-WY Pinedale Field Office located at 1625 W. Pine St., Pinedale, Wyoming, with a requested delivery date of July 1, 2025. The procurement supports the Sagebrush Strategic Plan's objectives of improving Greater Sage-Grouse habitat management areas by enhancing site stability, reducing erosion, and reintroducing native vegetation. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract will be processed through the Internet Payment Platform with 30-day prompt payment terms after delivery. The hydromulch must meet ECTC Type 1 standards and provide a protective spray-on mulch mat that aids seed germination, while the organic tackifier must be environmentally friendly and non-toxic.
