- Description
- The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Region 7, Alaska, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Alaska Biological Research. The requirement is to conduct aerial survey for breeding pairs of Stellers Eiders near Barrow. The Alaska breeding population of Stellers Eider (Polysticta stelleri) was classified as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in June 1997 (USFWS 2002). Recent records suggest that the species current breeding range in northern Alaska has been greatly reduced and now is restricted mostly to the vicinity of Barrow (Quakenbush et al. 2002). Results of aerial surveys in the past decade verify this distribution pattern (e.g., Larned et al. 1999, Ritchie and King 2001, Obritschkewitsch and Ritchie 2009). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), in partnership with the Department of Wildlife Management of the North Slope Borough (NSB), has conducted studies on the breeding biology of Stellers Eiders near Barrow since 1991 (Quakenbush et al. 2000; Obritschkewitsch et al 2001; Obritschkewitsch and Marin 2002a, 2002b; Rojek and Martin 2003). ABR, Inc., first collaborated with these organizations and conducted aerial surveys for Stellers Eider during the pre-nesting season in 1999 and has conducted these surveys since then through 2010 (Obritschkewitsch and Ritchie 2010). Given that ABR, Inc. has conducted these surveys since they began in 1999, the consistency of this research project depends on ABR, Incs continued involvement for its successful completion. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals received.
