Special Notice Western Governors Association

This is not a solicitation. This is a notification of an intent to award a single source procurement under NAICS code 522294. The Bureau of Reclamation Acquisition and Operation Branch in Denver, Colorado will solicit and award a purchase order to provide co-sponsorship to the Western Governors Association in support of Biosecurity and Invasive Species Initiatives. As part of the co-sponsorship Reclamation will receive fourteen seats on two working lands roundtable sessions for Reclamation employees. In addition, Reclamation will have access to any reports resulting from the conference. The Government believes that only one responsible source can provide this requirement.

The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. If firms believe they have the technical capability to meet this need, submit a technical capability statement along with business profile to Josh Keadle at jkeadle@usbr.gov by 8/20/2019. Any information received will be treated as market research information towards future similar or same requirements. Quotations or proposals received in response to this notice will not be accepted since the synopsis is not a request for proposal.

A determination to compete this action based on the responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. All interested parties must express their interest and capabilities in writing via email to jkeadle@usbr.gov. No faxed documents will be accepted. If no responsive statements are received by 8/20/2019 at 2:00 PM MST, an award will be made to the Western Governors Association.
