- Description
- The Bureau of Land Management intends to negotiate a contract, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, with D.R. Systems for the acquisition of the OPTIONS model and support services. The BLM western Oregon districts need to revise their resource management plans to project the development of forest conditions over time to quantify the effects on Endangered Species Act listed species' habitats and to determine a sustainable harvest level. This plan revision requires the use of a vegetation model with the ability to handle large data sets associated with analyzing 2.4 million acres of forest lands with multiple land use allocations, regional ecological differences, and complex goal rule sets to be simulated; to calculate timber harvest level considering the Federal forest management goals, objectives, and constraints; to project the effects on endangered species habitats; to perform both cost and revenue analyses based on alternative management strategies; and to interface with GIS in order to spatially display the results. The applicable NAICS code is 541620. No other commercially available vegetation model is known to exist that fulfills the requirements. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The government will consider all responses received by 12:00pm. MST, Friday, June 17, 2005. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
