About this opportunity

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking a contractor to conduct an aerial Roosevelt elk survey in the Rogue River Watershed through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The procurement requires a specialized helicopter service with specific equipment and personnel qualifications to support wildlife research. Specifically, the contractor must provide a Bell 206BIII or equivalent helicopter with a minimum of 340 horsepower, a fuel truck with a 5-micron fuel filter, and a licensed driver. Pilot requirements include a minimum of 1,000 total helicopter flight hours and 100 hours of low-elevation survey experience. The contract will enable ODFW biologists to survey free-ranging elk, with an anticipated usage of up to 17 flight hours. Proposals are due on January 9, 2024, at 3:00 PM PDT, with an anticipated notice of intent to award on January 18, 2024, and a contract term running from January 15, 2024, through March 31, 2024. ODFW will evaluate proposals based on qualifications, project approach, and pricing.

The RFP demonstrates a preference for certified disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, and emerging small businesses, providing potential advantages to these enterprise types during the evaluation process. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract appears to be a specialized service procurement focused on wildlife survey capabilities. The opportunity is geographically limited to Jackson County, Oregon, and targets a specific environmental research objective. No information about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure is provided in the available documentation. The procurement seems designed to be competitive and open to qualified helicopter service providers who can meet the technical and operational requirements outlined in the RFP. Potential respondents should carefully review the detailed qualifications and be prepared to demonstrate extensive experience in low-elevation wildlife survey operations using helicopter platforms.
