About this forecast
The Bureau of Land Management, within the Department of the Interior, is forecasting a new requirement for native seed increase contracts, with an estimated solicitation release on 2026-12-01 and an estimated award on 2026-12-31. The contracts will use Seeds of Success wildland collections to establish production fields and expand domestic supply of locally adapted native seed for rangeland health, post-fire recovery, and habitat restoration, benefiting all DOI agencies and reducing reliance on non-native or poorly adapted seed sources that may require costly retreatments. The requirement falls under NAICS 115310, Support Activities for Forestry.
The estimated award value range is $500,000 to $999,000, executed through two procurement requests: one using BLM MLR funds to establish the fields and a second using PCRP Working Capital funding to buy the seed produced, with the working capital fund repaid when the seed is purchased for individual projects from the BLM seed warehouse. BLM anticipates awarding multiple contracts depending on bids received, with place of performance in Colorado, USA, under the 08-Rocky Mountain Region. The point of contact is Fred Edwards, Headquarters Plant Conservation and Restoration Management Lead, at fsedwards@blm.gov.
Forecast text
This solicitation will fund native seed increase contracts that use Seeds of Success wildland collections to establish production fields and expand the availability of locally adapted native seed for rangeland health, post fire recovery, and habitat restoration. The contracts will benefit all DOI agencies by increasing the domestic supply of native seed, reducing reliance on non-native or poorly adapted seed sources that may require costly retreatments. The solicitation will be executed using two PRs, one using BLM MLR funds to establish the fields and a second using PCRP Working Capital funding to buy the seed that is produced. The working capital fund will be repaid when the seed is purchased for individual projects from the BLM seed warehouse. We anticipate awarding multiple contracts depending on bids received.
