Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units Service

The government authority in Washington, DC, requires a vendor to provide cooperative ecosystem studies units services offsite. The buyer needs the vendor to develop gridded ecological drought forecasts to assist rangeland managers in targeting restoration investments where plant establishment is likely. The requested scope includes generating wall-to-wall, monthly weather and soil moisture forecasts updated monthly using real-time National Weather Service data. The vendor must provide rapid, real-time broad geographic assessments of regeneration potential to inform management agency resource allocations. Additionally, the vendor must synthesize establishment requirements for critical restoration species to clarify when and where these species will likely establish successfully. The buyer restricts eligibility exclusively to onshore, USA organizations. The buyer states no explicit budget, noting only that it is looking for proposals. The source text provides no evaluation criteria or key-date details.
