The National Park Service is issuing a sole source task order to complete the General Management Plan (GMP) for Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve near Alamosa, Colorado. The contract is intended to finalize the GMP, including related wilderness studies, Wild and Scenic Rivers evaluations, and environmental impact statements. The effort is already 70% complete, with the current contractor having performed two years of preliminary research. This procurement is focused solely on finishing this ongoing project rather than initiating a new one. The sole source acquisition follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines under parts 6.302 and 6.302-1, reflecting a non-competitive process due to the advanced stage of work and the existing contractor's unique experience. The contract falls under NAICS code 541710, which covers research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. The Department of the Interior, through the Dsc Contracting Services Division in Denver, Colorado, is managing this acquisition. Interested contractors should note that this notice is not a request for quotes, and the government retains full discretion to decide whether to compete the work. The primary point of contact for further information is Katie Hoover, Contract Specialist, reachable by email and phone as provided. This sole source approach ensures continuity and leverages the contractor’s existing knowledge and research to efficiently complete the GMP for the park.
