C--Post Notice of Intent to Issue Sole Source Award

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Northeast Region 5, plans to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Burgess & Niple, Inc., based in Chantilly, Virginia. This contract, governed under FAR PART 6.302-1, is justified by the fact that only Burgess & Niple can fulfill the agency’s requirements due to their prior involvement in developing the technical specifications for the bike path extension project at the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge in Cape Charles, Virginia. The contract involves architectural and engineering observation services to ensure that the construction complies with these technical specifications. This action falls under the NAICS code 541330 for Engineering Services and is not open for competition, meaning no solicitation will be issued for this contract. The notice serves solely to inform the public about the intent to award the contract without seeking competitive proposals. The procurement is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service Headquarters office located in Falls Church, Virginia. The project emphasizes continuity and ensures consistent technical oversight by the firm that originally designed the construction specifications under previously competed IDIQ contracts.
