About this opportunity
This notice announces the USDA Agricultural Research Service Pacific West Area's intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Northwest Berry Foundation to provide peer review in response to grape and berry industry needs in the Pacific Northwest. The agency seeks these peer review services to satisfy its requirements and has determined Northwest Berry Foundation to be the only responsible source able to meet them. Interested parties have until July 2, 2020 to submit documentation demonstrating their ability to fully meet the government's requirements, upon which the agency will determine whether to pursue this procurement competitively.
There is no set-aside designated for this opportunity. As the incumbent, Northwest Berry Foundation would likely receive a follow-on award to continue providing these peer review services. However, the notice provides other firms an opportunity to argue they can fully perform the work. No specific NAICS, PSC, budget range or other contract details are included in this pre-solicitation notice beyond the high-level requirement described.
