f--LCD GIS Analysis: Connectivity and Gap Analysis

The US Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 hereby gives NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE to SWCA Incorporated.
The work is for support services to develop and manage geospatial data, databases, and information resource in support of landscape conservation design, ecological assessment, and strategy assessment program requirements. The work is to refine the wetlands and estuaries gap analysis, continue connectivity modeling across Washington, and refine a Marxan based spatial prioritization.
The required work is a continuation and builds from the work of the previous contract,GS-10F-0209L, TO 140F0118F0254. The previous contract has developed preliminary products for the gap, connectivity, and Marxan analyses however, significant refinement and advanced analysis is needed. Due to the complexity of the work and the work builds upon work previously performed, a new contractor will need to learn the methods and the data sets and develop relationships with our science partners which would take a significant amount of time and cost.
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Submit requests to Robert_Sung@fws.gov by 2/27/2019 at 10 AM Pacific Time. Statement of Work for previous requirement can be viewed on GSA eBuy RFQ1280399, solic # 140F0118Q0084.
There will be no written solicitation issued. This is an intent to purchase a sole source procurement under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This will be a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
