Corporacion Red De Observadores De Aves De Chile

Corporacion Red De Observadores De Aves De Chile (doing business as Roc), an international non-profit organization based in Providencia, Chile, is a federal grant recipient focused on shorebird conservation and environmental education in Chile, with all recent work funded by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The vendor splits evenly between prime grants (50%) and sub-grants (50%), operating exclusively within a single federal customer.

Roc's capability portfolio centers on conservation of United States breeding migratory shorebirds that winter in Chile, with emphasis on strengthening environmental education and community engagement at critical Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network sites along the Pacific Flyway. The vendor's prime-grant work includes a $222 thousand project grant awarded August 14, 2026, with ultimate completion March 31, 2028, supporting conservation efforts at four Chilean coastal and wetland sites, local capacity building, and development of management planning tools. As a sub-grantee, Roc has received two sub-awards from Forest Service International Foundation dated October 28, 2024, each focused on sustaining and promoting shorebird outreach efforts at key Chilean sites and conservation of threatened bird species in northern Chile.

Customer concentration is absolute: all four awards in the source data originate from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions. Activity is sparse — one award in 2021, two in 2024, one in 2026 — with only one award (the August 2026 project grant) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a single recompete opportunity. The vendor carries no federal contract prime or sub positions and holds no seats on government-wide vehicles. Roc operates as a specialized binational conservation organization delivering field-level community engagement and wildlife stewardship to support U.S. shorebird population stability through coordinated work in Chile.
