The draft Performance Work Statement is Attached to this SAM Notice. REASON FOR SOLE SOURCE ACQUISITION: The statutory authority for this non-competitive acquisition is FAR 13.106-1(b)(i), Soliciting from a single source for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The purpose is to provide technical services specific to the Nez Perce Tribe, to support the Federal Columbia River Power System Cultural Resources Program, Wana Pa Koot Koot. Background: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USCE) and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) (Agencies) are jointly responsible for compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) under the terms of the 2009 Systemwide Programmatic Agreement (SWPA) for management of historic properties affected by operations of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). The USACE, Northwestern Portland District manages The Bonneville, The Dalles, and John Day Projects, which are part of the FCRPS. The FCRPS Cultural Resource Program works closely with interested and affected tribes, State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs), and other agencies for cultural resource management in compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA. Justification: The Nez Perce Tribe possesses unique knowledge of its ancestral artifacts, village sites, prehistoric burial areas, and areas of traditional cultural properties and resources that exist within and overlap the project area. Impact: Failure to utilize the Nez Perce Tribe�s knowledge of its archeological sites and resources would delay the USACE in being able to make required long term management strategies for the area and impact compliance with NHPA Section 106 under the terms of the 2009 Systemwide Programmatic Agreement for management of historic properties affected by operation and maintenance of the FCRPS. Furthermore, the Government relations with the Nez Perce Tribe would be negatively impacted. The Government intends to solicit the Nez Perce Tribe directly for this project on or around 18-MAY-2022.� At this time, a solicitation does not exist.� All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. *NO PHONE INQUIRIES, PLEASE. CAPABILITY STATEMENT SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS (PLEASE REVIEW ALL BELOW) Point of Contact name, email address and phone number, CAGE code and DUNS number (if available); In the event that the organization is a small business, please state the category of small business, such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB/VOSB, Women-Owned Small Business.
