About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking a contractor to provide fixed-wing wildlife surveys for wolf population monitoring through RFP #S-63500-00010297. The procurement requires a contractor to supply a fixed-wing aircraft (Cessna 182 or 172 equivalent) with an experienced pilot capable of conducting approximately 100 flight hours across eastern Oregon, primarily in Wallowa and Baker Counties. Pilot qualifications are stringent, mandating a minimum of 1,000 total flight hours and 100 hours of low-elevation wildlife survey experience, with pilots subject to individual scoring worth 30 points each. The contract term is anticipated to be 24 months with potential for three 2-year renewals, extending to a maximum of 8 years. Flights will originate from La Grande and Enterprise airports, typically lasting 2-3 hours with 2-3 flights per day, and the contractor must be available within 48 hours' notice. Evaluation criteria include understanding of requested services, general qualifications, pilot qualifications, references, and pricing, with a total possible score of 275 points. The proposal is due by June 4, 2024, with a Notice of Intent to Award anticipated on June 13, 2024.
The RFP includes a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan (Attachment F) that encourages participation from minority, women, veteran, and emerging small businesses certified by the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). Offerors are required to identify certified firms they have worked with and describe steps to solicit certified firms for potential subcontracting. Preliminary documentation indicates Elkhorn Aviation, Inc. dba Baker Aircraft is the anticipated awardee. While a specific budget is not explicitly detailed, the contract includes provisions for invoicing and has a not-to-exceed amount. The solicitation emphasizes equal opportunity for certified firms to participate in state-funded contracts and requires comprehensive disclosure of business capabilities through a Responsibility Inquiry form. Contractors must provide evidence of financial resources, past performance, and compliance with various state regulatory requirements. The procurement allows for potential contract adjustments, with the state reserving the right to increase or decrease work hours based on operational needs.
