The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded contract 140FS126P0205 to the University of Nevada, Reno on a sole-source basis for native plant seed processing, testing, packaging, reporting, Authentic Recording System backup sample preparation, and controlled-environment storage in support of the Seeds of Success program at the Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The contract value is $25,500 firm-fixed-price, calculated at $773 per accession.
The justification cites the University of Nevada, Reno as the only responsible source capable of delivering the complete integrated service requirement.

The University of Nevada, Reno possesses established Native Seed Bank facilities, specialized equipment, and experienced personnel with extensive experience processing and conserving native seed collections.
