The Standard Nursery

The Standard Nursery is a sole proprietorship registered as a for-profit organization in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since May 5, 2016. The company specializes in providing horticultural and landscaping services to the federal government, particularly focusing on indoor plant installation, ground keeping, and the supply of seasonal flower plants. As a small business entity, The Standard Nursery has established itself as a reliable contractor for various gardening and plant-related services, catering to the needs of federal agencies.

The Standard Nursery has been awarded multiple federal contracts, primarily from the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of State. Notable among these is a Definitive Contract awarded on March 1, 2021, for ground keeping services in Nepal, with a potential value of $490,420.68 and a completion date of February 28, 2026. Additionally, the company secured a Purchase Order on August 30, 2022, for indoor plant installation and service at a chancery, with a ceiling value of $10,160.72 and a completion date of September 2, 2023. These contracts demonstrate The Standard Nursery's capability to provide both large-scale ground maintenance services and specialized indoor plant care for government facilities. It's worth noting that none of these contracts were awarded under set-aside programs, indicating that The Standard Nursery competed successfully in open market procurements.

The Standard Nursery also holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, awarded on July 9, 2024, with a ceiling value of $11,278 and an ultimate completion date of July 9, 2024. This multiple-award BPA is designed to provide seasonal flower plants over a one-year period. The agreement establishes a streamlined process for the agency to obtain these plants as needed through individual task orders or purchase orders, eliminating the need for separate procurements each time the requirement arises. This BPA showcases The Standard Nursery's ability to supply a variety of seasonal plants on demand, further emphasizing its role as a versatile horticultural service provider for federal agencies.
