- Description
- This is a notice of intent to award a sole source purchase order to the North Slope Borough (NSB), Barrow, AK for ongoing collection and analysis of polar bear hair retrieved from barbed wire fences near bone piles of bowhead whales. Based on the above requirements, we intend to negotiate on a sole source basis with NSB. The purpose of the study is to determine the effect on polar bears from consuming the remains of harvested bowhead whales. It will also be serve to help determine if the use of land during the fall is the result of a decline in sea ice, availability of a reliable food source on land, or both. NSB has worked in collaboration with the USGS on this project in the past and has a thorough knowledge of the requirement and process. To keep the necessary consistency of method and interpretation of data, NSB is the only known source capable of performing the required service. Other interested concerns having the ability to meet the USGS requirement may submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement at 2:00 PM PDT. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist. NSB is the only known source to provide this unique service. NAICS: 541620: Environmental Consulting Services For further information, please contact the Contracting Specialist at (916) 278-9334 or sevans@usgs.gov.
