- Notice of Intent UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 263 HENRY ADMIN BLDG 506 URBANA, IL, 61801 The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Portland Oregon intends to award a sole source fixed-price purchase order under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 6.302-1, other than full and open competition procedures and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedure, for the acquisition of slide interpretation services. Slide interpretation services are needed in order to assist the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ¿ Marine Wildlife Veterinary Care and Research Center (CDFW-MWVCRC) in the completion of southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) necropsies. The project will facilitate the completion of necropsies, which provide cause-of-death information for stranded sea otters and inform sea otter recovery efforts. The contractor will examine slides prepared from selected necropsy cases and interpret findings in the context of lesions present on the slides, gross necropsy findings and results of diagnostic tests to determine the cause of death, important biological data and contributing or incidental pathology for each assigned case. The average case will consist of 20-40 slides. The contractor is needed to provide support services that are highly specialized and require a high level of expertise. The work requires substantial amounts of training to be able to review slides containing tissue samples of dead southern sea otters and to interpret the abnormalities in the context of other information provided. Training and previous experience are essential to ensure consistency between cases. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541690, Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services. The size standard is $15 M. The Universal Product Code for this procurement is B534. No solicitation or request for quote is available for this procurement. Any firm that believes it is capable of meeting the USFWS requirements described herein may submit a response no later than 09/15/2015, 1500 PS to be considered. Responses to this posting must be submitted in writing via e-mail only. A determination not to compete the described purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Federal Government. Any questions or comments should be directed to Josh Gordon via e-mail at josh_gordon@fws.gov.
