Botanical Field Surveys for Scoped Species

The contract seeks a subcontractor to conduct botanical field surveys across approximately 10,000 acres within the Plumas National Forest, focusing on threatened, endangered, sensitive, and invasive plant species. Fieldwork will require the use of GPS and ArcGIS technologies for accurate, real-time data collection and spatial documentation of species occurrences. Surveys must adhere to rigorous scientific standards to support conservation efforts and land management decisions by the Forest Service. The work is expected to occur within the designated area near Quincy, California, with performance details tailored to seasonal biological activity and access constraints inherent to the forested landscape. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 541620, indicating it falls under environmental consulting services, and is issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. The solicitation was posted on July 6, 2026, with a submission deadline of July 27, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. It is structured as a subcontract, meaning the awardee will operate under a prime contractor or broader project framework, rather than directly under the federal agency. No specific set-aside provisions or small business considerations are indicated, and while no point of contact is listed, all inquiries and submissions must be directed through the SAM.gov portal linked in the posting.
