- SUBJECT: The National Park Service provides robust scientific information regarding the status and trends of critical natural resources in the National Parks. Highly accurate and repeatable quantification of the key constituents of caribou diets are important to the mission of the NPS. This announcement constitutes the only notice. This is not a request for quotes. A determination not to compete is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be received no later than 5:00 PM, July 24, 2015 by sending an e-mail to Amanda_jordan@fws.gov; however, any technical data received will be for the sole purpose of market research for future requirements. Under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), National Park Service, Alaska Region, Acquisitions Office intends to issue a sole source, firm-fixed price order to: COMPANY: Washington State University ¿ Wildlife Habitat and Nutrition laboratory, 240 French Administration Bldg., Pullman, WA 99164 DUNS: 041485301 ON: July 27, 2015 NAICS: 621511 Medical Laboratories AUTHORITY: 13.106(b) Soliciting from a single source Determinations not to compete this proposed procurement were made because: The laboratory that is being requested has been utilized by the NPS in the past. Diet analyses are known to be subject to lab/observer biases. To minimize this bias, diet analyses should be performed by the same lab/observer. The diet analyses that have just been completed recently in the ARCN parks were conducted by WSU ¿s Wildlife habitat and Nutrition laboratory. Diet studies for the Western Arctic Caribou Herd have utilized this same lab since at least 2005. To ensure compatibility, reliability and repeatability of diet analyses, we request WSU as the vendor.
