- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, Columbia Environmental Research Center, has a requirement to conduct research on the food habits of the San Marcos salamander and evaluate its associations with submerged aquatic. This will require differentiating native floral species (e.g. Texas wild-rice; Zizania texana) from invasive species. The outcome of this study will be used to adjust diet and the use of specific vegetation types for cover, reproduction, and feeding. Work includes field collection of diet-related samples, vegetation data, and water quality to follow a stratified random sampling design. Because of the specific geographic focus of this project, it is critical that local expertise be enlisted to conduct these field studies. Also, problems associated with shipping this rare species preclude conducting research at other facilities. Period of performance includes one 12 month base period and one option year. Based on the above the U. S. Geological Survey considers this a sole source to Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas. Other interested concerns having the ability to furnish this imagery may submit a capabilities statement to the contracting officer, USGS, P.O. Box 25046, Denver Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 80225 no later than the closing date of this announcement. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist; if no submissions are received by the above appointed time, the Government will proceed with noncompetitive award without further notice. This is NOT a Request for Quote (RFQ) the Government does not anticipate issuing a written solicitation. No number notes apply. Any questions please contact Teresa Henninger, Contracting Officer at (303) 236-9319 or email thinning@usgs.gov.
