U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Joint Administrative Operations, Acquisition & Property Operations.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 513210, Software Publishers. The object of this sole source award is to have continued access to the Idaho Fish and Wildlife Information System (IFWIS) species geospatial data exports from Idaho Department of Fish and game (IDFG). The objective is to facilitate the conservation and recovery of native species and the habitats they depend upon through the coordinated collection and exchange of information pertaining to the location and status of special status species of Idaho. The IFWIS geospatial data exports program is housed within IDFG. It is not available from any other source and relatively noncompetitive as it is the only entity collecting and distributing this data for Idaho. We consider IDFG to be the only source available.

The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government.
