- Description
- Intent to Sole Source The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intend to negotiate a noncompetitive contract with the University of Central Florida (UCF). This procurement is for the continuation of long-term, consistent monitoring of sea turtle nesting to assess changes in phenological and spatial nesting distribution on southeastern National Wildlife Refuges. It is the Government's belief that this requirement can only be met by the University of Central Florida. UCF are the primary endangered species permit holders and have monitored the beaches of the Archie Carr NWR for over 30 years (UCF data helped establish the refuge). They have the unique capabilities to meet the agency needs. UCF has been conducting nesting beach surveys, tagging turtles and analyzing reproductive success at ACNWR since 1982. Since 2010, UCF has been using capture-mark-recapture methodology, and collecting vital rates data for demographic assessment. Services can only be provided from the original source as this is a follow-on requirement for the continued provision of highly specialized services A determination not to compete this proposed contract has been made pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). All inquiries and concerns must be addressed in writing to email address jamese_promise@fws.gov, Attn: Jamese Promise. Any other interested organizations must submit a written statement of their capabilities and qualifications to fulfill this requirement to the identified point of contact as soon as possible, but no later than 10:00 a.m. local time on August 18, 2014. Please include your name, point of contact, address, area code, telephone number, email address, DUNS number, and facsimile number. Telephone request will not be accepted. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide the services outlined above. Any such statement of capabilities and qualifications received by the deadline will be evaluated solely for determining whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
