AI Contract Overview

The Bureau of Land Management in Cheyenne, Wyoming, plans to award a sole source contract to the University of Wyoming for a project aimed at developing and evaluating different methods to produce socioeconomic baseline reports. The project will conduct two pilot studies in distinct social and economic contexts: one at the District Office level in Wyoming focusing on local data collection, identifying gaps where local data may be insufficient or unavailable, and another at the Field Office level in Arizona designed to support larger-scale Environmental Impact Statements using publicly accessible data. These studies will generate baseline socioeconomic data reports tailored to their respective regions and will also assess the benefits and challenges of the two different approaches to inform future socioeconomic reporting needs for BLM personnel. No solicitation package will be issued, and the government will not accept telephone or fax requests. Interested parties must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government, although the decision not to compete remains at the government's discretion. Responses detailing capabilities must be submitted by September 19, 2014, under the NAICS code 611310, with a size standard of $25.5 million. The contract underscores a focus on pilot testing data collection strategies to improve socioeconomic planning at various administrative levels within the BLM.

Full Description

Baseline Socioeconomic Reports: The Bureau of Land Management, Cheyenne, Wyoming, intends to award on a sole source basis with University of Wyoming. This is a project that has an overarching goal of evaluating different approaches that can be used to develop socioeconomic baseline reports. Therefore, this project will take two approaches to producing socioeconomic baseline reports within two different social and economic contexts in order to provide information on the benefits and challenges of the different approaches as well as provide socioeconomic baseline reports for use by FO and DO personnel. Each approach used in this project is considered a pilot study which will result in two baseline socioeconomic reports, one for each pilot study. These pilot studies will produce baseline reports of specified social and economic variables for a larger scale (District Office (DO) level) stable planning area as well as a smaller scale (Field Office (FO) level) expected boom planning area. One pilot studys (WY) approach will focus on the identification and collection of local data while also highlighting where local data may not exist or is not of a quality suitable for use by the BLM. The other pilot study (AZ) will be comprehensive in order to provide value to larger scale EISs, while also provide guidance about what data may be most applicable to certain types of routine EAs where a full description of the social and economic environment is not necessary. The approach to this baseline study (AZ) is focused on utilizing easily obtained data from two different programs accessible to the public on the internet No solicitation package will be available. No telephone or fax requests will be accepted. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted no later than Sept. 19, 2014. The North American Industry Classification for this procurement is 611310 with a size standard of $25.5 Million.
