About this opportunity

The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking to procure 7,000 Q-Plug media or equivalent for the J. Herbert Stone Nursery in Central Point, Oregon. The solicitation requires media with specific characteristics, including a pH less than 6.0, that are compatible with 200-cell Hortiblock 200 trays. Offerors must submit technical capabilities, past performance information, and pricing by May 16, 2025, at 1:00 PM AKST via email. The government will evaluate offers based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with the intent to award a single firm-fixed price contract to the most advantageous offer. The procurement falls under NAICS category 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 500 employees.

This solicitation is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside, which limits competition to qualified small businesses. The delivery requirement specifies that the media must be delivered to the J. Herbert Stone Nursery by July 31, 2025, with delivery made FOB destination during regular working hours between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. PST. While the exact award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a specific quantity of media with precise technical specifications. The contract appears to be for a single procurement cycle, focused on obtaining specialized planting media for nursery operations. The justification for the brand-specific requirement stems from the need to maintain compatibility with existing government-owned Expanded Polystyrene Trays, which are specifically sized for Q-Plug media.
