It must also include adaptive management strategies to respond to environmental changes or unforeseen impacts, ensuring long-term sustainability and alignment with conservation goals. The plan is to be submitted for formal approval by COSCA, and all components must reflect scientifically grounded practices tailored to the unique ecological conditions of the site. Submission is due by August 22, 2026, and the contract falls under NAICS code 541620, indicating it is a subcontract for environmental consulting services. The solicitation, posted on July 28, 2026, targets qualified contractors with expertise in ecology, range management, and conservation planning.

All deliverables must meet rigorous standards for accuracy, feasibility, and ecological integrity to secure approval.
