Salmon-Challis NF Vegetation Management 2016-2019

The Salmon-Challis National Forest Vegetation Management Master IDIQ (IDIQ-FS-SCNF-VEG19) is a federal contract vehicle focused on comprehensive vegetation management and ecological preservation services. The contract enables targeted interventions for surveying, inventorying, mapping, controlling, and monitoring invasive plant populations within the Salmon-Challis National Forest, including the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. Primary services include invasive species management, habitat protection, and ecological monitoring with a specific emphasis on threatened, endangered, and sensitive plant populations.

Task orders under this vehicle consistently demonstrate a localized focus on invasive plant control and habitat management in Lemhi County, Idaho. Typical task orders range from $13,000 to $33,225 and have project durations typically spanning one fiscal year, with completion dates concentrated around September 30th. Most task orders were designated as Total Small Business set-asides, indicating an intentional effort to support smaller contracting firms. Key project types have included sage grouse habitat invasive species management, riparian area weed control, and targeted invasive plant treatments across different forest zones. The primary funding agency is the U.S. Forest Service, specifically the Salmon-Challis National Forest, with task orders consistently addressing localized ecological management needs in wilderness and forest management contexts.
