The Department of the Interior is forecasting a project for cyclic vegetation management at Fort Jefferson on Garden Key. The scope of work involves deferred maintenance including tree trimming, selective clearing, and general landscape upkeep around the parade ground, historic ruins, and the fort itself. Contractors will be responsible for trimming mature coastal vegetation, removing debris and overgrowth, performing limited stump removal, and applying targeted herbicides using ground-based methods to ensure the protection of historic resources and minimize visitor disruption. This opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 561730 and was posted as a forecast on September 2, 2026. Michael Machupa serves as the primary point of contact for the project, with additional support available through the National Park Service Contract Support Center.
