The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), a civilian agency within the Department of the Interior, awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at up to $15,001,000 to UFL Inc., a minority-owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business. The IDIQ contract, effective through September 2026, is for invasive species treatment services at national wildlife refuges in the Florida region. Under this IDIQ, the USFWS can issue firm-fixed price delivery orders to UFL Inc. for specific projects such as herbicide application, exotic plant control, habitat restoration, and land maintenance across refuges like Merritt Island, Loxahatchee, Hobe Sound, and Florida Panther. The awarded task orders range from approximately $40,000 to $500,000 and do not utilize small business set-asides, though UFL Inc.'s socioeconomic status likely contributed to its selection. The USFWS has issued multiple delivery orders to UFL Inc. to provide these environmental management services at various national wildlife refuges in Florida and Louisiana. The original solicitation, posted in April 2021, was a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking firms to provide invasive species eradication services for USFWS refuges within Florida. The procurement was structured as a firm-fixed-price, multiple-award IDIQ contract with no set-aside designation. Evaluation factors included technical approach, past performance, and price. The USFWS awarded the $15,001,000 IDIQ contract to UFL Inc. in October 2021 based on its demonstrated expertise in invasive plant management, habitat restoration, and natural resource services for federal land management agencies.
