Bosh botanical survey

The Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region is seeking a comprehensive botanical survey for the Boise District Office (BOSH) in the Jordan Valley region spanning Idaho and Oregon. The solicitation is for scientific and technical consulting services focused on conducting detailed plant surveys across six priority areas totaling approximately 33,834 acres. The survey will require precise mapping, data collection, and habitat assessment in regions near Silver City, Delamar, Oreana, Triangle, and Big Springs Ranch. Proposals are due by April 16, 2025, with the contract falling under the NAICS category of Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical expertise, understanding of regional botanical ecosystems, methodological approach, and ability to comprehensively document plant species across varied terrains.

The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and will be open to qualified scientific consulting firms with expertise in botanical surveys. The survey areas are strategically located across multiple geographic zones, with precise coordinate mapping already completed in the preliminary documentation. Wage determinations indicate that contract workers will be compensated according to U.S. Department of Labor standards, with minimum hourly rates of $17.75 for newer contracts. The project is scheduled for fiscal year 2025, with survey work planned across six distinct priority zones ranging from 3,084 to 7,679 acres each. Performance locations will include specific regions along Rabbit Creek Road, South Mountain Road, and Bachman Grade, spanning the Idaho-Oregon border in the Bureau of Land Management's jurisdiction.
