- Description
- The US Forest Service (FS), Tongass National Forest, intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price purchase order, as authorized by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 (13.106-1 (b) (1)), to University of Alaska, Anchorage, Alaska Natural Heritage Program, 3211 Providence Drive, Anchorage AK 99508-4617. The requirement is for the development of several rare plant species assessments needed to address species viability. This information is needed as part of the Forest Plan Amendment in order to meet FS obligations with regard to the National Forest Management Act and Forest Service policy (FSM 2670). These assessments will provide FS the scientific basis to make biological determinations for both Forest-level and project level-planning. Species assessments will be prepared for up to 10 rare plant species, according to scientific standards, and will undergo formal peer review resulting in formal publication in scientific journals. The outcome of these manuscripts will be state-of-the art knowledge on the status of certain rare plants on the TNF, which in turn will allow the Forest Service to further evaluate their viability relative to the landscape in Southeast Alaska. The current requirement will be for $50,000. Future requirements are dependent on receipt of funding. If funds are received in future fiscal years, it is possible that this requirement will continue and may exceed $75,000; however the total will not exceed $150,000. This is not a request for proposal. No package is available for competitive proposals. However, companies that feel they can provide equal services may submit a statement of capability, past performance information, price and delivery time for satisfying this requirement no later than 2 pm, Alaska Time, on 28 Jul 2014. The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is: 541690. The expected period of performance is approximately Sept 2014 - Sept 2016. Point of contact for this requirement is Catherine Powell, crpowell@fs.fed.us or 907-228-6242.
