Description
The U.S. Geological Survey, Biology Resource Division (BRD), has a requirement for products and services for updating species range maps and conservation status information. This initiative proposes to update range maps and conservation status information of the native freshwater mussels of the United States and the native and exotic amphibians of the southeastern United States as well as threatened species elsewhere in the country. This effort builds upon earlier work already completed by NatureServe. NatureServe has already produced first generation maps for all amphibians and half of the mussel species. The effort will allow NatureServe to significantly improve, enhance, and update the existing amphibian and mussel maps as well as develop maps for mussels not yet mapped. NatureServe has already invested well more than $300K in mussel and amphibian conservation status assessments and maps over the past 10-20 years. This erffort will build on that previous investment to insure that the status assessments are based on the most current information available. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), implemented by FAR 5.302-1, the Government considers the item specified as a sole source to Nature Serve, 1101 Wilson Blvd., 15th Floor, Arlington, VA 22209 and proposes to negotiate a contract with that firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required services and supplies are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement, and such other materials which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requests for such documents without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. Affirmative response shall be received by this office by close of business August 02, 2006 by 3:00 PM Mountain Standard Time. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement. Email information to gwalker@usgs.gov.
