The award shall consist of the following: Black-Capped Vireo Study (BCVS) in the Fort Sill area which requires a significant area of surveying within a very specific time frame to begin 1 April 2012 due to migratory patterns. Contractor shall provide all labor, supplies and equipment to accomplish the following work; The work requires that access to federal lands for surveys be acquired, federal and state endangered species/recovery permits to be current, and have trained and permitted staff that are available to meet project requirements. The incumbent is the only known source that can meet Agency requirements at this time. The BCVS project requires the expertise of trained and permitted Black-Capped Vireo surveyors to begin survey by 1 April 2012. The selected contractor has staff members that are already trained and permitted to survey for the Black-Capped Vireo and currently have agreements in place to access all required areas for surveys. Based on market research conducted, it would take a substantial amount of preparation time for another company to offer similar services that would meet these requirements.

This requirement shall be awarded as a firm fixed price contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 813312, size standard $14 million.
