- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a noncompetitive contract to NatureServe to support USGS implementation of the National Vegetation Classification (NVC) Standards (FGDC 2008). NatureServe is an established scientific organization with a long history of developing and maintaining biological information and data systems. NatureServe is the only organization that currently maintains a vegetation classification database consistent with the U.S. NVC. The databases maintained by NatureServe are proprietary, including Biotics where the alliance type descriptions are maintained, making them the sole provider of much of the information necessary to complete the National Vegetation Classification System, specifically the attributes required to complete the template for each of the alliance descriptions. No other organization maintains and has access to the legacy data necessary to complete this task efficiently. Questions may be addressed in writing to the Contracting Officer by email (Lmccarthy@usgs.gov). Request for Proposal G12PS00452 will be made available to NatureServe on or about June 18, 2012. The NAICS Code is 541620. The anticipated period of performance is 12 months from date of contract award with one one-year option. Numbered note 22 applies.
