- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the services described herein are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 10 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey, Geologic Discipline, Denver, CO is conducting on-going research on the range of climatic variability that has occurred in North America over the past several tens-of-thousands of years. Specifically, numerical analogue techniques are being employed to quantitatively compare assemblages of plant macrofossils with modern plant assemblages to estimate past climatic conditions. Over the past several years the USGS has worked to establish, map, and verify the relations among the present-day distributions of woody plant species and climatic and/or bioclimatic parameters. These data will now form the basis for reconstruction of past climatic conditions and changes. Based on the information at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(1), implemented by FAR 5.302-1, the government considers the services specified as a sole source from the University of Colorado, Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), 1800 Grant St Ste 7, Denver, CO 80203-1186, and proposes to negotiate a contract with the firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required services 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, request for such documents without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. This notice may represent the Governments only official notice of this procurement.
