The vendor's entire portfolio consists of vegetation management and noxious weed eradication work on Bureau of Land Management lands across Idaho. Work is performed under a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (140L5220A0005) valued at $600,000 and running through April 2030, with a ceiling ultimate completion date of April 30, 2030.
