It is structured as a subcontract, issued by the USDA’s FPAC Business Center Acquisition Division, with a response deadline of July 13, 2026. The work will be performed across various privately owned grazing lands throughout Wyoming, though specific locations are not detailed. Success in meeting the requirements hinges on maintaining protocol compliance, securing timely landowner access, and delivering high-quality ecological data within the established timeframe.
