The 2025 data collection involves approximately 19 inventory segments with a maximum of 38 data collection points on BLM federal lands, with historical data showing 77% successful collection rates and 23% of points deemed inaccessible. Pricing is structured at $38 per federal point for the base year and $48 per point for option years, with additional compensation for training/calibration activities and inaccessible point designations.
