Forest Service Policy Handbook Re-write Follow-On

Added: Jan 20, 2015 4:00 pm The US Forest Service intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Convergent Performance LLC. for the continuation of the Forest Service (FS) manual 5700 Aviation Handbook re-write. Convergent will finalize the multi-year FS manual re-write project started in 2011. Convergent Performance LLC received the competitive contract award, AG-024B-C-10-0019, for the handbook re-write in Oct of 2010. Due to FS delays in getting subject matter experts and finalized information to the contractor (Convergent) a follow-on contract has become necessary to complete the policy re-write handbook.

This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitations documents are available and telephone requests will not be honored. However, if a firm believes it can meet the requirements it must furnish information about its products and services, as well as references from other customers who are using these products and service, to the Contracting Officer within (7) calendar days from the date of publication of this synopsis. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirements. Information must be sent to the Contracting Officer, Forest Service Contracting, 3833 S. Development Ave, Boise ID, 83705, via fax to (208) 387-5398 or via e-mail to mdolson@fs.fed.us. Responses received will be evaluated however; a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the Forest Service will proceed with the sole source negotiation with Convergent Performance, LLC.
