About this opportunity
This Special Notice announces the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District's intent to award a sole source contract to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The notice was published on March 11, 2022 by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Portland.
The Special Notice aims to continue scientific monitoring and studies of the Oregon Bull Trout fish species through a 12-month contract with ODFW. Interested parties should direct inquiries to the point of contact by March 22, 2022 and include business information. ODFW will be sole sourced due to their expertise in Willamette basin ecology and genetics research, restoration projects, and ongoing monitoring of Oregon Chub and Bull Trout. A transition to a new public contractor would significantly disrupt continuity of long-term population data critical to research.
Notice text
NOTICE OF INTENT FOR SOLE SOURCE ACTION
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District (NWP) intends to negotiate/award a sole-source contract with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), a State of Oregon agency, for scientific monitoring and studies associated with the Oregon Bull Trout fish species. This contract is limited to a 12-month period of performance.
REASON FOR SOLE SOURCE ACQUISITION
ODFW has been continuously assisting USACE in improving the status of Oregon Chub and Bull Trout in the Willamette basin through its research on ecology, genetics, and life history, restoration projects, and ongoing monitoring. ODFW has the necessary expertise, knowledge, and private land access agreements currently in place within the Willamette Valley to fulfill this requirement. ODFW also possess the ownership of existing equipment and systems that served for the monitoring and survey services.
Sole sourcing this 12-month requirement to ODFW will ensure continuity of the data collected, which is critical for research on long-term population trends. A transition in contracting the monitoring and survey services from ODFW to public vendors requires significant time and effort from all stakeholders to ensure the process happens smoothly without severe interruption. The transition may take up to a year for a public contractor to acquire and build all necessary equipment and system to replace ODFW’s equipment and systems to perform the work.
AUTHORITY
The statutory authority for this non-competitive acquisition is in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.501(a)(1) Soliciting from a Single Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
A solicitation for this action is currently not available. Please direct any questions regarding this notice to Ms. Kay Nguyen (khuong.t.nguyen@usace.army.mil) for further assistance. Please provide the following information with your inquiry:
1. Business Name, Cage Code, and DUNS number
2. Business Status
3. POC information includes Name, Tittle, Email address, and a Phone Number
