23 NC Native Seed Mix

The Pennsylvania Game Commission's Northcentral Region is soliciting competitive bids for a native seed mix procurement targeting woodland and savannah habitat restoration across various State Game Lands. The specific procurement involves purchasing 487.5 pounds of seed mix, with all seeds required to be provided in Pure Live Seed (PLS) quantities. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the Commonwealth's PA Supplier Portal by 2:00 PM on January 31, 2020, with the bid award being determined by the lowest responsible bidder. The seed mixture has precise specifications including multiple native species with designated percentages and quantities, and must be mixed and packaged in 20-pound bags. Deliverables must be received at the PGC Northcentral Office by February 28, 2020, with a requirement that Pennsylvania local ecotypes be used when available. The Pennsylvania Game Commission reserves the right to reject any or all bids and allows potential bidders to discuss substitutions or technical questions with the designated contact.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly detailed in the procurement documents, the bid appears open to qualified seed suppliers who can meet the technical specifications. The unit price per pound must comprehensively include all costs associated with seed, mixing fees, bagging, and delivery to the Northcentral Office. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and no specific budget range is listed beyond the 487.5 pounds of seed mix being procured. The procurement is geographically focused on Lycoming County and Juniata Terrace Borough within Pennsylvania, suggesting a localized habitat restoration initiative. Potential respondents should carefully review the detailed bid specification document to ensure complete compliance with the Pennsylvania Game Commission's requirements for species composition, seed quality, and delivery standards.
