The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) awarded a contract on August 31, 2026, for the procurement and delivery of one Frontier LS1145 three-point mounted liquid sprayer unit. This equipment is designed to replace an inadequate existing sprayer at the Blackwater Hutton Unit and will support the facility's food plot maintenance program. The LS1145 sprayer features a 250-gallon tank capacity and approximately 45-degree spray coverage, specifications intended to enhance operational efficiency in treating 200 acres of food plots through fertilization and herbicide application. The contract value totals $18,435.13.

Performance of this contract extends from the award date of August 31, 2026, through the completion date of June 30, 2027. The sprayer equipment will be deployed at the Blackwater Hutton Unit in Florida to support wildlife management operations by providing improved food plot maintenance capabilities. The enhanced tank capacity and spray coverage of the LS1145 unit are expected to reduce labor and time requirements for food plot treatment, which the FWCC identifies as critical to its wildlife management program objectives.
