Opportunity Summary

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, FWS SAT Team 3, issued this special notice of intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-priced contract to River Partners for the supply of seeds for restoration on the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge. This procurement, identified under solicitation number DOIFFBO260030, supports Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) efforts following the Dairy Fire. The agency intends to award the contract under the authority of FAR 13.501(a)(b) simplified acquisition procedures, citing River Partners as the only supplier capable of providing native seeds from local ecotypes that genetically match the habitat and soil of the burned area. The required seed species were unavailable from other suppliers, and River Partners provides seed quality assurance through vetted local sources and growers, including substitutions from nearby counties where primary ecotypes were limited by non-native weed content.

The primary classification for this requirement is NAICS 111998, All Other Miscellaneous Crop Farming, and PSC 8730, Seeds and Nursery Stock. Work is expected to commence following the issuance of the delivery or purchase order. The notice includes three attachments: a statement of provisions and clauses, a performance work statement, and a notice of intent document, all posted on February 10, 2026.

While this announcement is not a request for competitive quotes, the government will consider capability statements from responsible sources to determine if a competitive procurement is advantageous. Capability statements must be submitted to the contracting specialist, Fred Riley, via email by the response deadline of 2:00 p.m. EST on February 23, 2026. The agency maintains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract based on the responses received.

Original Description

NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI)
This is not a request for quotes.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) hereby submits a Notice of Intent (NOI) to inform industry contractors of the Government’s intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed priced contract to RIVER PARTNERS for the Supply Seeds for Restoration on the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge.

This contract action is for commercial services under NAICS code 111998, All Other Miscellaneous Crop Farming for which the agency intends to award with only one source under Authority, FAR 13.501(a)b), Simplified Acquisition procedures.

River Partners (Heritage Growers) is a reliable supplier that collects native seeds from local areas closely matching the habitat and soil of the burned Dairy Fire scar. These local plant strains are genetically similar to the surviving vegetation, increasing their likelihood of survival. The supplier carefully vets all local sources and growers to ensure seed quality. Availability of seed from the preferred ecotypes was limited, as much of it contained high percentages of non-native weeds. Heritage Growers offered reasonable substitutions sourced from nearby counties. The required seed species were unavailable from other seed suppliers.FWS anticipates work to begin after receipt of the delivery/ purchase order. This announcement constitutes the only notice. This is not a request for competitive quotes. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government and would not be cost or time prohibitive.
