The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants awarded a $49,500 firm fixed price purchase order to the University of Hawaii (Office of the President) to provide membership services to the Hawaii Conservation Alliance (HCA). This contract, which has no set-aside designation, runs from December 20, 2024 through December 31, 2029. USGS's Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center has been a charter member of HCA since 2012 and determined that the organization is uniquely positioned to deliver the required collaboration services. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1), as USGS believes no other vendor can reasonably provide the necessary services. The University of Hawaii, a U.S. state government and Native Hawaiian-serving educational institution, will provide research, coordination, and technical assistance services in support of environmental conservation efforts in Hawaii under this contract.
