B--G3 NATIVE FISH DATABASE SERVICES

The Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Regional Office, is awarding a firm-fixed-price contract for G3 Native Fish Database Services to support the Lower Colorado River Multi Species Conservation Program. The project focuses on the development and documentation of a native fish database, specifically covering native fish augmentation and remote PIT scanning components. The primary objective is to ensure a full knowledge transfer to government personnel, enabling them to independently maintain, modify, and operate the system. Key deliverables include the documentation of the CST database schema, data capture workflows for native and non-native species, reporting scripts used for FY25, and technical training on the Chapman modification of the Lincoln-Peterson population estimator. The performance period is established from March 16, 2026, to March 15, 2027, with administrative oversight based in Boulder City, Nevada, and deliverables sent to Washington, DC. While the acquisition was processed as a noncompetitive sole source intended for Marsh & Associates, LLC, the award was based on a trade-off evaluation of price and technical capability. Contract administration requires electronic invoicing through the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform. The contract incorporates various Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses regarding supply chain security, whistleblower protections, and sustainable procurement, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Contracting Officer’s Representative at the destination.
