B--Notice of Intent to Award

The National Park Service San Francisco Major Activity Buying Office plans to enter into a sole source contract with CLS America to secure satellite tracking services for monitoring sea turtle movements. This involves obtaining satellite time from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The contract will be awarded without competition under FAR 6.302-1, reflecting the unique capability of CLS America to provide these specialized services. Although the government is only negotiating with CLS America, this announcement invites other interested parties to express their interest or submit proposals within ten days of the notice’s publication; however, this is not a formal request for competitive bids. The procurement supports environmental and wildlife tracking efforts managed by the Department of the Interior’s Dsc Contracting Services Division in Denver, Colorado. The NAICS code associated with the contract is 518210, related to satellite telecommunications. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to pursue a competitive process based on any input received during the ten-day response period. Questions or proposals are directed to the designated contact via email, emphasizing that received information will solely influence the decision to compete or not.
