Deer Spotlight Count and Survey Route

The contract involves the development of a new spotlight survey route to estimate the white-tailed deer population on Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, under a Firm Fixed Price arrangement. The work scope requires the contractor to create GIS layers and metadata for survey points, develop preliminary and final reports detailing methods and results, and deliver both printed and digital copies of supporting materials using a formula established by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The period of performance is strictly limited to June 30, 2026, through September 30, 2026, with all deliverables to be performed on-site at the depot. The contract employs a comparative evaluation method, where offers must first meet mandatory technical and past performance thresholds before price and overall advantage to the government determine the award. The contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management, provide a Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, and comply with federal requirements including prohibitions on inverted domestic corporations and covered defense telecommunications equipment. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow using specific DoDAAC codes including HQ0871 for payment and M00263 for administrative, inspection, and acceptance functions, with the INVOICE 2 IN 1 format required for this service-based line item. The contractor is responsible for all travel logistics and must clearly identify all personnel and deliverables as contractor-produced to avoid misrepresentation as government work. Standard access procedures through the depot’s Provost Marshal’s Office and Security Office apply, and no special security clearances are required beyond routine contractor vetting. The primary point of contact for solicitation inquiries is Nichole Taylor at the specified email and phone number, with proposals due by June 18, 2026, at 11:00 AM local time.
