Proposals are due by August 3, 2026, and must be submitted electronically through SAM.gov; no questions will be addressed prior to the formal solicitation release. Payment will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer using information from the contractor’s SAM registration, and all performance is to be conducted on private land within the designated states.
