BLM opens bid for Campbell Tract trail revegetation, women-owned businesses only

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking a greenhouse contractor to revegetate a decommissioned trail segment on the Campbell Tract Special Recreation Management Area in Anchorage. Quotes are due July 24 under a solicitation restricted to women-owned small businesses.

The contract calls for 1,710 native plants delivered in two phases: 1,440 forb plugs due Aug. 20, 2027, and 270 shrub container plants due Aug. 20, 2028, all genetically sourced from Alaska. BLM supplies the seed.

Acceptance standards require 95% vigorous growth, fewer than 2% showing pest or disease signs, and zero noxious weeds. Rejected material must be replaced within 30 days of notification.

Delivery windows for both phases run Aug. 10 to Aug. 20 of their respective years, to BLM's Anchorage Field Office at 4700 BLM Road. The contractor must notify the Contracting Officer's Representative at least three business days before delivery. All plants must be hardened off and labeled by species, lot number, and date.

After each delivery, the contractor must submit a one-page digital report to the representative by Aug. 20 of that year documenting seed origin, propagation efforts, methods used, and survival or mortality percentages by species.

The period of performance runs from August 3, 2026, through August 31, 2028. BLM anticipates awarding a single firm fixed-price contract but may award multiple contracts if more advantageous to the government.

All questions must be submitted electronically to Lisa Brune at [email protected] no later than close of business July 21, 2026. Quotes are due by 5 p.m. on July 24.
