Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008524D0022

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy, has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Loomacres Inc., doing business as Loomacres Wildlife Management, for geese deterrent services at Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island. This single-award IDC, valued at up to $229,410, does not utilize any set-asides and runs through February 2027. Loomacres, a self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned small business, is required to provide daily sunrise to sunset surveillance, control actions, record keeping, and reporting to address increasing Canada goose populations on the naval property. The contractor must utilize non-lethal wildlife management techniques, including the use of herding dogs, radio-controlled model boats, and vehicles, to harass and deter the geese. This contract builds upon Loomacres' previous IDC for similar services at Naval Station Newport, which had a ceiling value of $423,466.50 and ran through January 2024. The current IDC allows NAVFAC to issue firm fixed price delivery orders to Loomacres as needed to maintain effective geese control and mitigation at the facility.

The original solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice, outlined NAVFAC's requirement for a contractor with specific expertise in wildlife management, including advanced degrees and experience using herding dogs for harassment. The contract aims to support the Navy's facilities maintenance and operations objectives by addressing nuisance Canada goose populations through non-lethal deterrent methods, in line with the agency's environmental stewardship goals.
