Native American Cultural Site Management

Added: Mar 20, 2014 6:06 pm The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado, intends to negotiate a sole-source award using other-than-full-and-open competition to Parametrix, 1002 15th Street SW, Suite 220, Auburn, WA 98001 for professional assistance in the management of traditional cultural properties and sacred sites on USAFA. Based on past contractual arrangements, it has been determined to be in the government's best interest not to compete the acquisition. Parametrix has 3 years of direct experience and trusted relationships with 27 Federally-Recognized tribes with ancestral and contemporary cultural ties to the local region. Significantly, Parametrix has in-depth knowledge of the tribes and how they uniquely relate to properties on USAFA. In the event of award to a contractor other than Parametrix, duplication of effort and cost in the on-going development of the Native American Consultation Program would result. Statutory authority permitting other-than-full-and-open competition is FAR 13.106-1(b), Soliciting from a Single Source less than $150,000. The NAICS code is 541712. All responsible sources may submit a response, which if received timely, will be considered. The synopsis is for notification purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation.
