Solicitation # 140L3626Q0043
The Bureau of Land Management’s Montana State Office is seeking a small business contractor to conduct eDNA sampling across the Dry Fork basin in Lewis and Clark County, Montana, focusing on mainstem Dry Fork, Cabin Creek, Dwight Creek, Canyon Creek, Conger Creek, and multiple unnamed drainages spanning over 25 stream miles. The work requires field access via a six-mile hike from the Hobnail Tom Trailhead, with some areas needing bushwhacking and packstock to transport equipment to a base camp. Sampling must occur between July 15 and November 1 to ensure optimal low-water conditions for accurate eDNA collection. The contractor must deliver a summary report detailing trail conditions, intermittent stream reaches, dry sampling locations, fish barriers, and other relevant observations.

Second Supplemental Recirculated Environmental Impact Report (SSREIR) for Revisions to Title 19- Kern County Zoning Ordinance (2024) focused on oil and gas
Solicitation # PLO26-00878
The project involves the permanent plugging and abandonment of the Star Fee I39-1 well located within the Cymric Oil Field in Kern County, California, on APNs 085-230-266 and 085-230-050, all on previously disturbed land with no new infrastructure installation required. This activity is part of the broader regulatory framework governed by the Second Supplemental Recirculated Environmental Impact Report (SSREIR) for revisions to Title 19 of the Kern County Zoning Ordinance (2024), which addresses oil and gas operations. The solicitation number for this action is PLO26-00898, classified as a special-notice action under NAICS code 541620, administered by Kern County with primary point of contact Craig M Murphy, Director, and secondary contact Matt Perry, Senior HSE Advisor. The project is situated entirely within California and is documented through regulatory Notices of Exemption under CEQA, indicating compliance with environmental review requirements without necessitating a full environmental impact report. While the scope is clearly defined to include only well abandonment with equipment details outlined on page two of the accompanying Site Plan, there is no specified period of performance, delivery schedule, contract value, pricing details, or formal contract administration provisions, as the underlying documents are regulatory filings rather than a traditional procurement contract. No packaging, inspection, certification, or contractual clauses typical of federal acquisitions are present, as the action falls under local environmental and zoning regulatory processes.
