About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) awarded a $55,297 firm fixed-price purchase order to Whitfield & Eddy, P.L.C., a Des Moines-based legal services firm, for title services related to the Emergency Watershed Protection – Floodplain Easement (EWPP-FPE) program in Iowa. The contract was awarded on October 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, and was issued without a set-aside designation. The work encompasses title-related services for 11 real property easements, including obtaining and creating abstracts, preparing title opinions and commitments, conducting closing services, and recording warranty easement deeds.
This award was issued as a sole-source contract under simplified acquisition procedures, justified by the government's determination that resolicitation would result in unnecessary delays and duplication of effort, given that Whitfield & Eddy, P.L.C. was previously engaged for similar work on these specific easements that remained incomplete. The contractor's focused expertise in conservation-related land transactions and exclusive work with NRCS on similar EWPP-FPE initiatives made it the logical choice to expedite completion and support NRCS's broader natural resources conservation mission in Iowa.
