General Information

1. GENERAL:

This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Marine Natural Resource Support Services.

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. The Contractor may not delegate any services to a Subcontractor, as the requirements and clearances will be specific to the Contractor. The Contractor is accountable to the Government.

The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is the premier Government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats.

The USFWS PIFWO requires Marine Natural Resource Support Services to provide a range of technical professional services associated with the management of projects, natural resource assessment activities, data analysis and management, and reporting assigned to staff in the field office located in Honolulu, Hawaii. This will not be a remote work position and the selected Contractor must be a resident of the United States or U. S. Territories at the time that the contract is awarded.

The contracted services would involve conducting coastal and marine natural resource surveys within the U. S. - leased areas of the Marshall Islands. The overall purpose of these studies is to inventory and document the existing fish and wildlife resources, including benthic habitat producing species such as corals, present within the U. S. Army Garrison – Kwajalein Atoll (USAG-KA) that the U. S. is required to monitor and conserve according to the UES. The survey results will help federal agencies, including USFWS PIFWO, NOAA NMFS, and the Department of Defense provide recommended management strategies for Species of Special Concern (SOSC), as outlined in the UES, based on the survey data and observations, enabling ongoing U. S. Army and Space Missile Defense Command missions at Kwajalein Atoll.
