NC26-11 East Coyote Aerial Seeding

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing is conducting a competitive Invitation for Bid (IFB) for aerial seeding services near the Utah/Colorado border, specifically targeting 1,908 acres of land. The procurement is being managed by the Wildlife department with the intent to award a single contract to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. The project's primary objective is to complete aerial seeding operations by October 15, 2025, with vendors required to guarantee pricing through project completion. The scope of work, detailed in Attachment B, outlines specific requirements for aerial seeding techniques and geographic specifications. Vendors must carefully review all attached documents, including the Vendor Prerequisites document and Terms and Conditions, to ensure full compliance with procurement requirements. The bid is due by August 19, 2025, with no mandatory site visit required for potential bidders.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, vendors must meet comprehensive prerequisite qualifications outlined in the procurement materials. The total project budget and specific award value are not directly stated in the available documents, though the procurement is structured for a single contract award. Potential bidders will need to carefully review the technical specifications in documents like the "EastCoyote Phase2 Mastication and Seeding" files to understand the precise operational requirements. The procurement appears focused on selecting a vendor with demonstrated capability in aerial seeding techniques, with emphasis on cost-effectiveness and operational competence. Vendors will likely be evaluated based on their ability to meet the specific geographic and technical requirements of the 1,908-acre seeding project near the Utah/Colorado border.
