Carrizo Cane Eradication

The U.S. Government is seeking information from potential vendors capable of a long-term (3-5 year) strategy to eradicate Carrizo Cane (Arundo donax) from designated areas along the Southwest Border, coupled with native species planting. The effort requires comprehensive site assessment and planning, Carrizo Cane removal and eradication (including mechanical cutting, chemical treatment, and regrowth monitoring), and post-removal restoration to achieve at least 80% ground cover of approved native vegetation. Responses, including ROM pricing for aerial mapping site preparation and 25-foot river buffer establishment, are due by December 26, 2025, at 5:00 PM ET. The anticipated project acreage ranges from 5 to 3000 acres, with a total estimated clearing area of 66,000 acres pending landowner agreements and environmental clearances. The Government will provide access to designated border areas, landowner agreements (as available), and completed environmental compliance documentation (as available). Contractors are expected to obtain necessary permits, ensure personnel safety, and maintain communication with the USG project manager.
