About this file

This document appears to be an Attachment D - Element Occurrence Form used by the USDA Forest Service to collect field data on the location, characteristics, and condition of plant species. It contains a comprehensive set of data fields to record information such as the site ID, date, scientific name, ownership, location, population details, site morphometry, soil characteristics, light conditions, habitat quality, and associated species. The form is designed to capture detailed information about the occurrence of a specific plant species at a given site. This appears to be an administrative/reporting form rather than a solicitation for products or services.

The related federal contract opportunity is for "Battle Bruin Botany and Whitebark Pine Surveys" on the North Fork John Day Ranger District of the Umatilla National Forest in Grant County, Oregon. The work involves conducting botanical field surveys to detect and document vascular Regional Forester Sensitive Species and ORBIC List 1 and 2 species in specified polygons (subunits) of proposed vegetation management areas. The solicitation number is 12048924R0027 and the contracting agency is the USDA Forest Service.
