- Description
- Sole Source Notice of Intent (FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures) In accordance with FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), on behalf of FWS Division of Migratory Bird intends to award a sole source action to Point Reyes Bird Observatory (DBA Point Blue Conservation Science). The Avian Knowledge Network (AKN) is a partnership of people, institutions and government agencies supporting the conservation of birds and their habitats based on data, the adaptive management paradigm, and the best available science. AKN partners act to improve awareness, purpose, access to, and use of data and tools at scales ranging from individual locations to administrative regions (e.g., management areas, states, countries) and species ranges. AKN partnerships are organized around nodes dedicated to the development of tools and resources that guide and inform conservation management. Each node has a hosting organization, partner institutions and sponsors. Partners include federal, state, local and non-government institutions and academic and scientific research institutions. The AKN shares data and analytical tools across nodes through an open and collaborative approach to problem-solving. Point Blue developed the tools that the data feeds. They also maintain the data the tools use. They are the only ones that can update the data and data connections to achieve the objectives we're wanting to achieve with this work. The AKN is the only data management and decision support system currently able to accommodate the unique needs associated with this proposal. It is also the most cost-effective solution because much of the existing infrastructure is funded and maintained through a collaboration of partners, including federal and state agencies and non-governmental organizations. This is not a solicitation for competitive proposal. No solicitation document is available. All responsible sources that have determined that they can provide the same products or services may submit product information and a capabilities statement that speaks to the products/services the US Fish and Wildlife Services are seeking in this proposed acquisition. All responses are due by July 30, 2021, 10:00 AM Eastern Time and can be sent to Lorenzo Aragon at lorenzo_aragon@FWS.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract base upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
