It will also reestablish native plant communities that will further diversify over time, resulting in greater quantity (acres) and quality of native plant communities. **Background: Intensive agriculture has led to the installation of drain tile networks, excavation of drainage ditches, and stream channelization, impacting natural hydrologic and other processes. Such impacts have enhanced flooding risks, minimized the amount of open space available for native plant and wildlife communities, diminished recreational opportunities, and disturbed natural processes and soils in the project area. The project area is further dominated by non-native and invasive plant species. **ACQUISITION INFORMATION: Competition for this acquisition is planned to be FULL AND OPEN, UNRESTRICTED TO BUSINESS SIZE. The North American Industry System Classification Code is 237990, with a small business size standard in dollars of $45.0 Million...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
