- Description
- SECOND NOTICE - DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU RESPONDED TO THE FIRST NOTICE. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is planing an A-76, Direct Conversion with Cost Comparison Study of soil mapping services in the NRCS offices in Michigan. These services are currently provided by Government personnel. The final products of these services are completed and field correlated soil surveys for a designated geographical area. Major components of this work include: researching existing information pertaining to the survey area (existing soil surveys, topographic and geologic maps, and aerial photographs); conducting soil mapping activities, collecting and analyzing field data, and identifying soil types and series that will meet or exceed National Cooperative Soil Survey standards; preparing samples of the soil profile and descriptions from the surface to a depth of 60 inches; classifying samples by soil taxonomy and assigning a series name; developing map units and maintaining official map unit legend; compiling official field notes, soil profile sheets, field transect sheets and mapping field sheets by map unit; and entering all documentation into National Soils Information (NASIS). This is not a request for proposal and in no way obligates the Government to award a contract. Prospective offerors are advised that a contract may NOT be awarded if the cost of contract performance is determined to be greater than the cost of in-house performance of Government personnel. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541270, Surveying and Mapping (American except Geophysical) Services. If you are interested in competing for this requirement, please indicate your interest by sending an email to bonnie.kilgore@mi.usda.gov or fax to (517) 324-5287 NOT LATER THAN APRIL 18, 2003.
