About this file
This document is a Statement of Work (SOW) and related federal contract opportunity for the acquisition of a fossil mouse bird specimen for an exhibit at Fossil Butte National Monument.
The SOW specifies the requirements for the desired fossil, including that it must be a small (4-6 inch) mouse bird species from the Fossil Lake sediments of the Green River Formation, with a well-preserved skull, at least one wing and one leg. An articulated or nearly articulated specimen is preferred, but a disarticulated specimen will also be considered. Preference will be given to specimens deemed likely to be a new species.
The related federal contract opportunity is a sole source procurement under Solicitation Number 140P1424Q0066, with the National Park Service intending to issue a sole source award for the acquisition of a single 4" x 6" mouse bird fossil. This will be a commercial acquisition using simplified acquisition procedures under NAICS code 327991 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. The Contract Specialist, Kiara Stewart, is accepting documentation from firms that believe they can provide the requested fossil, which will be considered in determining whether to proceed with the sole source strategy.

SOW/Specifications: Fossil Mouse Bird
Exhibit plan calls for increasing the number of fossil birds on exhibit to fully represent the diversity of bird species present around ancient Fossil Lake. There are several known species of mouse birds from Fossil Lake. Fossil Butte has no mouse bird specimens. A small mouse bird, about 4-6 inches from head to feet is needed. The specimen must be from the Fossil Lake sediments of the Green River Formation. An articulated, or nearly articulated, specimen is preferred, but a disarticulated specimen will be considered. The specimen must have a well-preserved skull, at least one wing and one leg. Preference will be given to specimens deemed likely to be a new species by a fossil bird researcher.
