Select all criteria that apply (from 505 DM 2):

(2) Continuation: The activity to be funded is necessary for the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of, an activity we are funding and holding a competition would have a significant adverse effect on continuing or completing the activity.
(3) Legislative Intent: The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates the intent of Congress to restrict the award to a particular recipient or purpose.
(4) Unique Qualifications: The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based on a variety of demonstrable factors such as location; property ownership; voluntary support capacity; cost-sharing ability, if applicable; technical expertise; or other such unique qualifications.
(5) Emergencies: Because of a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety, there is not enough time to follow adequate competitive procedures.
Explain below why competition for this award is not practical. As applicable, summarize the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and any cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient. Be brief and specific:
I have determined that this project meets the requirements for a single source award and recommend that it be awarded to the recipient named above.

| offered by the proposed recipient Be brief and specific: The Service seeks to sole source this agreement with SEEDS Youth Conservation Corps to hire a SEEDS YCC crew at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge. SEEDS has been established for the purpose of employment and development of young people and the conservation and enhancement of natural and cultural resources. Participants gain training in essential life skills including resume building, public speaking, community engagement, and conservation projects within public lands. SEEDs are uniquely qualified to provide youth employment within an urban community. SEEDS has a robust Youth Conservation Corps program that is nationally recognized. They use a collaborative approach to connect vulnerable youth with the protection and enhancement of our environmental and cultural heritage. In the last five years, SEEDS has employed almost 300 underserved youth who live in northwest lower Michigan. Their program has served under multiple contracts and agreements with federal agencies and a wide variety of municipal and private clients. Through this program, youth would assist refuge staff with such activities as trail maintenance, hazard tree removal, treatment of non-native plant species, boundary posting, and facility maintenance. | |
