Intent to Sole Source

Intent to Sole Source



The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intend to negotiate a noncompetitive contract with Sandhills Area Land Trust (SALT). The Sandhills Area Land Trust (SALT) is a non-profit organization and provides space and services to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service so we can do business and house our employees to perform work as the Redcocked Woodpecker Recovery Sub Office in the Sandhills area of North Carolina. This office has been located in these facilities for 16+ years. Salt provides resources and reasonable rates which have contributed to our long standing annual lease agreement. Only this suggested source can provide these services, to the exclusion of the sources. A determination not to compete this proposed contract has been made pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).

Please include your name, point of contact, address, area code, telephone number, email address, DUNS number, and facsimile number. Telephone request will not be accepted. All inquiries and concerns must be addressed in writing to Jamese Promise at jamese_promise@fws.gov.



Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide the services outlined above. Any such statement of capabilities and qualifications received by the deadline will be evaluated solely for determining whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
