About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting an Intermediate Procurement for a Mule Deer Initiative native shrub and forb collection and grow contract in Wasco County. The primary objective is to procure and grow 7,000 native plants, specifically 3,500 shrubs and 3,500 forbs, collected from seeds east of the Mount Hood National Forest. The selected contractor will be responsible for collecting seeds in Fall 2023, growing the plants, and delivering them by mid-November 2024 to support habitat restoration and improve mule deer populations in the White River Wildlife Management Unit. Required plant species include bitterbrush, sagebrush, serviceberry, buckwheat, and various clover species. The solicitation is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) with a bid due date of June 2, 2023, and an anticipated contract award by June 30, 2023. Payment will be structured in three installments: 30% upon providing collection location information, 30% after seed collection, and the final 40% upon ODFW taking possession of the healthy plants. ODFW will collaborate with the successful bidder to potentially adjust specific species and quantities based on the contractor's expertise.
No specific set-aside designations or preferences were explicitly noted in the procurement documents. The contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder whose proposal is most advantageous to ODFW, with evaluation criteria detailed in the ITB. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the solicitation includes comprehensive federal contract provisions requiring compliance with various regulations such as Equal Employment Opportunity, Davis-Bacon Act, Clean Air Act, and Debarment and Suspension rules. The contract term is set through November 30, 2024, with a potential two-year extension option. Although a specific budget range was not provided, the multi-phase payment structure suggests a project of moderate financial scope. Bidders must also adhere to federal requirements, including whistleblower protections and policies on reducing text messaging while driving. The procurement is subject to standard federal procurement guidelines for intermediate acquisitions.
