The procurement was initiated to replace equipment damaged in a fire at Lucky Peak National Nursery and to address a failing component at Toumey National Nursery.

This procurement contains no set-aside designation and identifies Bouldin & Lawson LLC as the intended sole-source supplier. The independent government estimate for the contract value is not explicitly stated in the provided materials, though the equipment supports production of more than 3 million seedlings annually across different species and seed sizes. Delivery of equipment is scheduled between April 15, 2026, and May 15, 2026, with the base contract period running from January 21, 2025, to May 15, 2025. The small business size standard for this procurement is 500 employees. The place of performance is McMinnville, Tennessee 37110. The solicitation incorporates federal compliance requirements including Buy American provisions, sustainable products standards, and anti-discrimination compliance, with the USDA Ombudsman Program available for addressing agency protests.
