About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Real Time Research, Inc. by September 22, 2026, under FAR 13.106-1(b) for statistical and analytic services not exceeding $250,000. The Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office in California will award a base plus four-year firm fixed price contract; no competitive solicitation will be conducted. Real Time Research uniquely developed the proprietary statistical model, computer code base, and analytical framework supporting USFWS research and monitoring programs including Habitat Restoration, Hatchery Evaluation and Monitoring, Mainstem Juvenile Fish Monitoring, and Battle Creek and Clear Creek Tributary Monitoring programs. The contractor's specialized expertise in advanced statistical modeling, fisheries research, and complex analytical code development, combined with demonstrated performance on prior USFWS awards, qualifies them as the sole source capable of continuing this work without substantial delays and duplication of effort that competing contractors would incur. The justification indicates no market research was conducted because the acquisition represents direct continuation of prior work. USFWS committed to broadening future competition through standardized code documentation, shared repositories, and transferable models. Interested parties may submit a written statement of capabilities containing clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government.
