About this opportunity
The Morris K. Udall Foundation is seeking a Third-Party Science Neutral (TPSN) and Independent Science Advisory Panel (ISAP) to support the Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP). The contractor will provide independent scientific review, advice, and recommendations in natural sciences, social sciences, and cultural resources to support science-based decision-making for the MRRP. The ISAP will consist of up to seven standing panel members with expertise in areas such as large river ecology, hydrology, sturgeon biology, and resource sociology. The solicitation (RFQ 959006-25-R-0005) will result in a Time & Materials contract with one base year and four option years. Evaluation criteria will prioritize technical approach and past performance over price, with questions due by January 29, 2025, and quote submissions due by March 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM MST.
The procurement is a full and open competition under NAICS code 541990 with a $16.5 million size standard. The estimated contract value is $430,000, distributed across a base year and four option years at $86,000 per period, including $18,000 for base task travel and materials and $68,000 for optional tasks. The primary place of performance will be at the contractor's facility, with travel required to multiple states including Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Montana, Iowa, North Dakota, Colorado, and Oregon. The contractor will be responsible for attending MRRIC plenary meetings, work group meetings, adaptive management workshops, and fall science meetings, with an anticipated contract start date of April 21, 2025. The TPSN will manage the ISAP, facilitate panel operations, and coordinate various scientific review and advisory work products for the Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee.
