About this award

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 awarded a $45,000 firm fixed-price delivery order to Zara Environmental LLC, an SBA-certified women-owned small business headquartered in San Marcos, Texas, for Montana Grizzly Bear public comment processing support consultation services. The contract, issued on February 24, 2026, with completion targeted for July 31, 2026, represents specialized environmental consulting work performed in support of the federal government's grizzly bear recovery initiatives. This award was not designated as a small business set-aside, reflecting the government's determination that Zara Environmental's unique qualifications and expertise warranted direct procurement. The delivery order is issued under Zara Environmental's existing Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, valued at $6.1 million with a completion date of June 30, 2025, which provides pre-negotiated labor rates and terms for scientific, technical, and advisory peer review services.

Zara Environmental LLC brings over 35 years of specialized expertise in environmental consulting and scientific advisory services, with particular focus on rare species management, habitat conservation, and endangered species monitoring in complex ecosystems. The firm has established a track record with federal agencies, including multiple prior contract awards from the Department of the Army and Fish and Wildlife Service totaling approximately $631,103.89 across seven distinct contracts, demonstrating proven capabilities in species surveying, monitoring, and management. In addition to the Fish and Wildlife Service Blanket Purchase Agreement, Zara Environmental maintains a General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract valued at $500,000 through October 3, 2027, enabling streamlined procurement of environmental consulting services across federal agencies without requiring competitive procurements.
