F-- OR-R1-SWCA SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT LANDSCA

The US Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 hereby gives NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE to SWCA Incorporated. The work is for support services to develop and manage geospatial data, databases, and information resource in support of landscape conservation design, ecological assessment, and strategy assessment program requirements. The work is to refine the wetlands and estuaries gap analysis, continue connectivity modeling across Pacific Northwest, and refine a Marxan based spatial prioritization. Work will be in support of the Cascades to Coast Landscape Collaborative (CCLC). The required work is a continuation and builds from the work of the previous contract,GS-10F-0209L, TO 140F0118F0254 and contract 140F0119P0046 and most recent contract 140F0120P0067. The previous contract has developed preliminary products for the gap, connectivity, and Marxan analyses however, significant refinement and advanced analysis is needed. Due to the complexity of the work and the work builds upon work previously performed, a new contractor will need to learn the methods and the data sets and develop relationships with our science partners which would take a significant amount of time and cost. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Submit requests to Cheryl_Mockford@fws.gov by 9/23/2020 at 10 AM Pacific Time. Statement of Work for previous requirement can be viewed on FBO 140F0120Q00275. See attached sole source justification. There will be no written solicitation issued. This is an intent to purchase a sole source procurement under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.
