- Description
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Contracting and General Services in Falls Church, VA intends to award a purchase order to Southern Illinois University, 900 South Normal Woody Hall C 206, Carbondale, IL 62901 for Wingbee Operations. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has conducted a cooperative State/Federal Waterfowl Parts Collection Survey annually since 1961. Results from this survey are used to estimate the species, age, and sex composition of the waterfowl harvest in each state, flyway, and the entire U.S. Hunters who agree to participate in this survey are provided postage-paid ¿wing-envelopes ¿ and are asked to send us a wing from each duck, and the primary wing tips and tail fans from each goose that they shoot over the course of the entire hunting season. We receive approximately 120,000 waterfowl parts each year. When the parts arrive, they are sorted by species and stored in a freezer until late February, when state and federal biologist examine these parts in greater detail at the annual cooperative State/Federal ¿wingbees. ¿ SIU will maintain and make available at a temperature well below freezing a minimum of 575 cubic feet of storage space annually from October 1 thru September 30. This space will be readily accessible from the work space. SIU will make available a work space adequate for 40 people sitting at 10 tables. SIU will insure adequate lighting and bathroom facilities of said work space during the period it is in use. Work space will be made available for a 1-week period (to be set annually), during February. This requirement will have one Base Year and four Option Years. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
