About this award

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District awarded a $141,000 firm fixed-price contract to Kort Clayton, doing business as Integrated Avian Solutions, for falconry abatement services at The Dalles Lock and Dam in Oregon and Washington. This total small business set-aside contract runs from April 15, 2025 through July 31, 2027, with a base performance period through July 31, 2025 and two optional one-year extension periods. The primary objective is to reduce predation on juvenile salmon and protect dam facilities by employing trained raptors to deter nuisance bird populations, specifically double-crested cormorants, California gulls, and ring-billed gulls, that threaten both aquatic resources and infrastructure integrity.

Under the contract, Integrated Avian Solutions will provide approximately 60 working days of falconry services led by a licensed Master Falconer, with performance concentrated in May 2025. The contractor will deploy captive-bred raptors with appropriate federal documentation and may supplement efforts with remote-controlled boats and trained dogs to haze target bird populations. All work must comply with federal, state, and local wildlife regulations, including the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will provide the contractor with a camping location and visitor passes at the performance site in Dallesport, Washington.
