About this file
This document is a single source justification form completed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to acquire a Leica Geosystems BLK 360 Imaging scanner terrestrial lidar kit from the sole distributor in North America. The agency requires the kit for measuring and monitoring fuel loadings in remote areas, to integrate with the systems currently used by partner agencies and allow for assistance with training and post-processing through agreement. No other capable sources were identified. The Southeast Region of USFWS is currently using this kit from this source to streamline training across the agency. The fair and reasonable cost was determined through an independent government estimate and previous purchase pricing. The program officer and contracting officer approved the single source acquisition and sole source award on the dates indicated.
The related federal contract opportunity is a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award posted by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, though no further details are provided in the document text.
