Description

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) works in a voluntary partnership of private landowners to develop and sustain productive grazing lands. Recently the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill) re-authorized the Conservation of Private Grazing Land (CPGL) program. Anticipated funding options have and will continue to allow NRCS to provide technical assistance to private landowners wishing to develop, implement and maintain prescribed grazing plans. The Minnesota NRCS State Office is seeking through this notice, private sector assistance to meet the increasing demands for technical assistance on grazing lands. The Minnesota NRCS State Office intends to select private sector individuals, firms, entities, and/or public agencies (non-federal) to provide this assistance in cooperation with the agency. The agency is seeking private sector individuals, firms, entities, and/or public agencies (non-federal) with experience in the development, implementation and maintenance of prescribed grazing plans. Additional activities may require the use of web-based applications to report project completion and other accountability items. Applicants interested in furnishing the desired technical assistance are encouraged to give written notice to the Solicitation Contact. Selected applicants must hold or be able to obtain a Prescribed/Managed Grazing Planner certification from Minnesota NRCS. Successful applicants may also be required to provide additional proof of licensing, certification(s), and bonding for contracted activities. If an individual, firm, entity, and/or public agency (non-federal) wishes to provide this assistance, but holds no applicable certifications, they are encouraged to state this in their response to this solicitation and provide applicable information detailing their qualifications. This is a ?Sources Sought Notice?. It is anticipated that a separate ?Request for Proposal? will be advertised for specific NRCS administrative areas in Minnesota as soon as funding becomes available and surplus workload is identified.
