B--Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest Information

The Department of Interior's US Fish and Wildlife Services, Region 7 in Alaska, plans to award a contract to The Maniilaq Association based in Kotzebue, Alaska, for collecting migratory bird subsistence harvest data from eleven communities in the Northwest Arctic region. The contract is primarily awarded to this organization due to its unique position and suitability to gather sensitive subsistence harvest information from these specific communities. This announcement is purely informational; it is not a competitive solicitation, and the government does not intend to accept or evaluate proposals from other entities. The government will consider all relevant information submitted by responsible sources within 14 days following the publication of this notice. However, respondents will not be informed about the outcome of any information reviewed. The contract is administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service Headquarters located in Falls Church, Virginia, and aims to support efforts related to the management and documentation of subsistence migratory bird harvests in the Northwest Arctic region.
