The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Wildlife Division issued Request for Quote (RFQ) 190000000234 seeking five seed commodities for wildlife habitat management purposes. The procurement requires 3,000 pounds of buckwheat, 3,000 pounds of rye seed, 750 pounds of Ladino white clover with inoculate, 500 pounds of Vernal alfalfa with inoculate, and 250 pounds of Timothy seed, all packaged in 50-pound bags on standard four-way shipping pallets. All seed must meet a minimum 85% germination rate and be delivered between April 22–30, 2019 to the DNR Wildlife Division Atlanta Field Office at 13504 M-33 North, Atlanta, Michigan 49709. Vendors must provide unit pricing by the pound through the SIGMA VSS system and submit sealed bids by February 22, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. EST. Questions must be submitted to Solicitation Manager Lisa Crozier-Green by February 20, 2019 at 3:00 p.m., with answers posted by February 21, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. All quoted prices are FOB Delivered, inclusive of delivery fees and miscellaneous charges, and vendors must notify the DNR three business days prior to delivery and indicate their purchase order receipt deadline to ensure timely April delivery.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor eligibility are identified in the procurement documentation. Michigan genotype seed is noted as preferred, suggesting a possible preference for in-state suppliers, though this does not appear to be a mandatory requirement. Vendors intending to use subcontractors must provide complete subcontractor information including name, contact details, address, telephone number, and email. Payment terms are net 45 days from DNR acceptance, with the option for vendors to offer quick payment discounts. No incumbent vendor, budget range, or award value is specified in the solicitation; however, the specific quantities and pricing structure indicate a routine commodity procurement for operational wildlife management purposes.
