The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Swca, Incorporated for scientific, advisory and technical peer review services. The two-year BPA has a potential value of $6.1 million.
Under the BPA, Swca will provide peer review services such as scientific and technical evaluations, advisory services, and related program support activities. The scope of work covers bureau-wide peer review needs to support the agency's research, conservation, and management programs. Peer review services ensure scientific integrity and help inform decisions impacting fish and wildlife resources.
The BPA establishes an instrument for the agency to issue fixed-price task orders on an as-needed basis. This streamlines the acquisition process and allows the agency to leverage Swca's scientific expertise in a timely, cost-effective manner over the two-year ordering period. The single-award structure indicates the awardee was determined to be the best value based on the original solicitation requirements.
