Ammendment #2 Questions:

I had one question about the required delivery dates as it looks like there is a typo in the solicitation. For the WIlderness plots it lists the delivery date as 4/28/2023. Could you please provide the correct delivery date for these plots?

Answer: The wilderness plots delivery date is a type-o they are due no later than 8/31/2024 (the end of the period of performance) this will be reflected in the final award document.

Question: Could you also clarify whether soils sampling equipment will be provided by the government as I believe these tools can be fairly specific to the FIA soils protocol.

Answer: Government furnished property is listed in the statement of work.
