23 NC Native Seed Mixes

The Northcentral Region of the Pennsylvania Game Commission is seeking to procure two native seed mixes for woodland and savannah habitat restoration across various game lands through a line-item bid process. The procurement requires vendors to provide specific native seed mixtures with precise species compositions and quantities, delivered in 20-pound labeled bags to the PGC Northcentral Office by June 25, 2021. Bidders must submit proposals electronically through the Commonwealth's PA Supplier Portal by May 5, 2021, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Key specifications mandate the use of Pennsylvania local ecotypes when available, and vendors must possess a vendor number assigned by the Commonwealth to receive payment. The bid prospectus provides detailed specifications for seed mixtures, including exact percentages and pounds of each required species, with the Pennsylvania Game Commission reserving the right to reject any or all submissions.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered in the PA Supplier Portal and can register or update their information through the portal website or by contacting the Department of General Services directly. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement appears to be a targeted, specialized acquisition for ecological restoration purposes. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and there are no mentioned requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology. The procurement is geographically focused on the Northcentral Region of Pennsylvania, specifically involving Lycoming County and Juniata Terrace Borough, with a clear emphasis on ecological restoration and native habitat management through carefully specified seed mixtures.
