The Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region awarded a $157,677 firm fixed-price purchase order to Nathan Large, operating as Florence Truck & Tractor, for mowing services at the West Eugene Wetlands in the Eugene District of Oregon. The contract, awarded on May 10, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2029, was set aside for small businesses and addresses the agency's land management and habitat maintenance requirements.
