California Wildlife Damage Management Project

The California Wildlife Damage Management Project authorizes a work and financial plan for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, under the coordination of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Wildlife Services and the County of San Diego Department of Agriculture, Weights, and Measures. The project focuses on integrated wildlife damage management activities within the unincorporated areas of San Diego County and relies exclusively on the previously approved Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Checklist dated May 2024, under State Clearinghouse number SCH 2020099012, with CEQA 15162 findings confirmed on June 4, 2026. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act is central to the project's execution, requiring adherence to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the Fish and Game Code, and associated procedures including the submission of a Notice of Determination to the County Clerk within five working days after approval, public notice posting for thirty days, and payment of environmental filing fees to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The project does not specify a contract value, pricing structure, or traditional federal procurement line items, indicating the document is an environmental compliance and administrative approval record rather than a full binding contract with financial terms. No federal contract clauses from the FAR or DFARS are included in the documentation, nor are there formal sections addressing contract administration, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, or invoice methods. The contracting officer’s representative, contracting officer’s technical representative, and procurement contracting officer roles are not formally designated, though key contacts include Thomas Duffy as Environmental Planning Manager and Annette Jones from the California Department of Food and Agriculture for interagency coordination. The project’s performance is confined to the unincorporated regions of San Diego County with no FOB or delivery terms specified. Submission of required environmental documents must occur via the CEQAsubmit.opr.ca.gov portal or in physical form, with attachments such as the CDFW No Effect Determination and cash receipts for filing fees being mandatory for compliance. There are no federal certifications, socioeconomic designations, UEI, or CAGE codes referenced, and all obligations stem from state environmental regulatory frameworks rather than federal acquisition standards. Approval and acceptance responsibilities rest with local and state government entities, including the County Recorder, State Clearinghouse, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the entire process is structured around procedural environmental compliance rather than traditional contractor deliverables
