The contract is a solicitation for herbicide-based vegetation management services under the fiscal year 2026 ESR BLACKSTONE FALL HERB program, issued by the Bureau of Land Management’s Oregon State Office within the Department of the Interior. It is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, with the NAICS code 115112 for Support Activities for Forestry, limiting eligible responders to small businesses. The period of performance spans from September 29, 2026, to October 13, 2026, and the work involves the application of approved herbicides—Panoramic 2SL, Plateau, and Nufarm Imazapic 2SL IVM—over approximately 9,813 acres of remote terrain in Nevada. Hand application is not feasible due to inaccessibility, so aerial or mechanized methods are required. All herbicides must have valid EPA registration numbers and no substitutions are allowed; Marshall Imazapic is explicitly prohibited. A KML file must be requested by July 27, 2026, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time, and contractors must acknowledge all amendments, which included at least two modifications prior to the final solicitation.

The place of performance is the Blackstone project area, requiring coordination with Owyhee Airport for equipment staging and logistical support.
