About Lovelace Farms Inc.
Lovelace Farms Inc., doing business as Forrest Keeling Nursery, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Elsberry, Missouri, that specializes in the production and supply of native tree seedlings and plant materials indigenous to the Upper Mississippi River floodplain region. The company, which has been registered to receive federal awards since March 2002, leverages proprietary propagation techniques, particularly the Root Production Method (RPM), to produce resilient tree specimens suitable for habitat restoration and environmental conservation initiatives. As a for-profit corporate entity, Lovelace Farms Inc. serves as a specialized supplier to federal agencies requiring native flora for reforestation, habitat rehabilitation, and ecosystem restoration projects throughout the Upper Mississippi River region.
Lovelace Farms Inc. has demonstrated consistent success in securing federal contract awards from two primary agencies: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Through these agencies, the company has provided diverse tree and plant species, including cottonwood (Populus Deltoides), sycamore, and various other Upper Mississippi River floodplain natives. Notable contract awards include a $21,985 firm fixed-price contract from the Army Corps of Engineers for the Reds Landing Reforestation Project with delivery to Diamond Island Boat Ramp in Hardin, Illinois; an $82,299.60 purchase order from the Fish and Wildlife Service for Root Production Method tree seedlings to support habitat restoration within the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge; and multiple smaller task orders totaling tens of thousands of dollars for sycamore and cottonwood procurement and upper reforestation plant services. All of these awards reflect the company's designation as a self-certified small disadvantaged business, with the majority of contract awards carrying total small business set-aside designations. The company's sole-source selection by the Fish and Wildlife Service underscores the unique value of its proprietary RPM technology, which remains unavailable through alternative vendors.
Lovelace Farms Inc. holds a primary federal contract vehicle in the form of a $1 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, awarded on February 7, 2022, with a period of performance extending through April 14, 2027. This IDV was established to supply tree and shrub nursery materials in support of reforestation and habitat management efforts, with pricing list modifications implemented to reflect evolving project requirements. Against this BPA, three task orders have been issued to date totaling approximately $489,000, including the sycamore and cottonwood procurement contracts, the Clarence Cannon Habitat Rehabilitation and Enhancement Project support, and the upper reforestation plant services order. The BPA structure has enabled the Army Corps of Engineers to maintain a reliable, pre-qualified source for specialized native plant materials essential to its environmental conservation and restoration programs throughout the region, while providing Lovelace Farms with a stable, long-term business relationship with predictable demand for its core product offerings.
