This notice describes a requirement for botanical surveys on the Umatilla National Forest. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service will award a call order under an existing blanket purchase agreement to conduct botanical surveys between May 1, 2024 and September 30, 2026 to determine the presence of target vascular and invasive botanical species. The surveys are required within proposed vegetation management units and along adjacent roads on the Walla Walla Ranger District. The contractor must document and map locations of target species, provide an ecological description of survey areas, and submit all survey products by September 30, 2026. Surveys must follow established written protocols for documenting target species from the Target TESP and ORBIC lists and mapping invasive species locations within survey units and within 0.25 miles of unit boundaries.
