- Description
- This is a Re-announcement of an acquisition previously announced under Category R. The purpose of this Re-announcement is twofold. First, Offerors are notified that this acquisition, which is being conducted in accordance with OMB Circular A-76, is being transitioned to a Streamlined Competition under the procedures of the Revised OMB Circular A-76, dated May 29, 2003. Certain deviations may be incorporated, as approved by OMB, for retention of the previous cost rules or procedures. Second, a determination has been made that the studied services are subject to the Brooks Act, and the procedure for procurement of Architect and Engineer Services will be employed. The USDA/Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is performing a Streamline Competition and is seeking sources capable of providing Soil Conservation Technician services at Crop/Upland1 ?

Major functions include gathering resource data to assist landowners in identifying resource conservation needs, assisting in the development of basic conservation plans, conservation projects, engineering projects, wetland development projects, agricultural waste issues, pasture planning, forestland planning, and wildlife planning with landowners to address resource concerns, assisting landowners with the design, layout, and inspection of completed conservation practices, developing land treatment contracts utilizing existing USDA and other federal, state, and local cost-share programs and providing annual follow-up on existing contracts. Assistance provided will include working cooperatively with the local NRCS field office staff, local conservation district, private organizations, and other federal state, and local partner agencies. 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 by Government personnel. This sources sought is NOT a request for proposal and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The NAICS Code is 541990.
