Description: This contract is an order for seed native to the region of Pea Ridge Military Park in Northwestern Arkansas Garfield County. All seed collected or produced for this contract must originate from native genetically appropriate species. All species and genetic material must originate from naturally occurring plant populations occurring within the Ozarks ecoregion and not greater than 200 miles east/west of the park and 125 miles north/south of the park. Seed will include grass, forb, and shrub seeds. Seeds can be hand collected or hand collected and grown out in seed increase fields at contractors discretion. All seed weights ordered here and reported by the contractor must be in Pure Live Seed (PLS) quantities. Acknowledging that seed production is based on highly variable environmental conditions this contract details a list of ordered or target species. If due to variable environmental conditions some species are not available the contractor must coordinate and negotiate with the government a list and quantity of acceptable substitutions. A list of acceptable substitution species is included in this contract for reference. Seed collected or harvested from increase fields will be cleaned to industry standards including to remove inert material and non-target species. Cleaned seed will be sent to an approved and certified seed testing lab to test for non-target seed species and viability, then delivered to the Park. Reporting / documentation reports will be required within one month following collections and following delivery of seed. Type of Procurement: A negotiated, firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price. Estimated Price Range: Between $25,000 and $100,000 Estimated Period of Performance: June 2017 - January 2019 Time for Contract Completion: The project is to be completed by January 2019. Proposal receipt date is not known at this time. The actual date will be established in the solicitation documents. This procurement is a FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. All responsible sources may submit an offer which, if submitted in a timely manner, will be considered. It is the policy of the government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small business, veteran-owned small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. Such concerns must also have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate as subcontractors in the contracts awarded by any executive agency, consistent with efficient contract performance. All offerors are strongly encouraged to contact their local Small Business Administration Office, to post their need for qualified subcontractors at http://www.sba.gov. Due to budgetary reasons, funds are not currently available for this procurement, and this Request for Proposal will be issued SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. This is currently an unfunded requirement with a high expectation that funds will be available. When and if funds become available, a contract will be awarded at that time.
