WFS - 2026 HORSE BUTTE DRILL SEEDING

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Upper Snake Field Office is seeking rangeland drill seeding services for the 2026 Horse Butte project. The work involves applying seed across 3,684 acres in Idaho's Blaine and Power Counties. The contractor will provide all labor, equipment, and supervision to execute seeding based on government maps and technical specifications. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 115112. The 61-day performance period runs from October 1, 2026, through November 30, 2026. Quotes are due by June 19, 2026. While the government provides the seed mix, the contractor is responsible for mobilization within three days of notice, GPS data logging, and equipment cleaning to prevent the spread of noxious weeds. This commercial item acquisition has a performance window from October 1 to November 30, 2026. The government provides the seed, but the contractor is responsible for logistics, protection, and uniform application across the site. The project requires rangeland drill seeding across 3,684 acres of sagebrush steppe in the Big Desert of the Upper Snake River Plain. The contractor must apply an eight-species native seed mix at a rate of 11 lbs. per acre, ensuring seeds are placed at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inches and covered with soil.
