Federal Freshwater Herbaceous Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedure Wetland Mitigation Bank Credits

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is pursuing a single-source procurement for 2.02 federal freshwater herbaceous Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedure (WRAP) mitigation bank credits within the Ocklawaha River Basin (HUC#03080102), specifically targeting environmental mitigation for a transportation project. This procurement is classified under UNSPSC code 64141701 for Environmental Mitigation Credit and requires purchasing credits to offset environmental impacts as mandated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The solicitation was posted on August 7, 2025, with a response deadline of August 28, 2025, and a contract term of one year. The procurement is specifically targeting Ecosystems Land Mitigation Bank Corporation as the sole source provider, as they are the only vendor capable of supplying the remaining balance of federal herbaceous credits within the specified project basin. Two previously awarded vendors were determined to have insufficient credit availability, necessitating this single-source approach.

The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of set-aside designations or specific enterprise requirements. The estimated dollar value for this acquisition is $404,000.00, with Lake Louisa Mitigation Bank (owned by Ecosystems Land Mitigation Bank Corporation) identified as the exclusive credit provider. The procurement is geographically constrained to Orange County, Florida, and is specifically focused on obtaining wetland mitigation bank credits to support transportation infrastructure development. No additional vendors or incumbent contractors are mentioned beyond Ecosystems Land Mitigation Bank Corporation. The procurement represents a targeted environmental compliance strategy, ensuring that transportation project environmental impacts are appropriately mitigated through the purchase of specific wetland credits within the designated hydrological basin.
