A16_Single_Source_Justification_Redacted_1.pdf

This document is a sole source justification for a federal contract opportunity with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. The solicitation is for snow removal services at the AK-SELAWIK NWR-KOTZEBUE location in Alaska from January 2023 through January 2024. The justification cites the incumbent contractor's satisfactory performance on previous contracts, specialized equipment required for operations in remote Arctic conditions, security clearances held, and established relationships with Native Alaskan communities as rationale for limiting competition to this single source. The award is expected by February 2023 to ensure services are in place for the upcoming winter season.
