Solicitation # 75D30126Q79062

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, through its Office of Acquisition Services, is seeking a qualified sanctuary to assume permanent ownership and long-term care of approximately 130 retired non-human primates, primarily rhesus and pigtailed macaques, no longer needed for federal research. The facility must be accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and operate as a true sanctuary with no research, breeding, buying, selling, trading, or sale of animal byproducts, and must prohibit direct public contact.

All animals must remain at the facility unless transferred for critical health reasons, and the contractor must sterilize any unsterilized animals within six months of intake. The procurement is a firm-fixed-price contract with mandatory pass/fail screening for GFAS accreditation, after which offers are evaluated holistically based on facility design, staffing, animal management plans, past performance, and price, with technical and performance factors significantly outweighing cost. The contract requires submission of detailed transport, intake, and care plans, coordination with USDA-licensed transporters at the CDC Royal Campus in Atlanta, Georgia, and a final report documenting full integration of the animals. Payment terms are structured as monthly invoicing for transportation, food, and intake activities, with a lump-sum payment upon completion of all animal transfers. The contractor must comply with strict records management obligations under federal law, including NARA and Privacy Act requirements, and ensure all employees receive CDC-provided records training. Proposals must be submitted electronically by July 23, 2026, and must include proof of SAM registration, affirmative certifications regarding payments and confidentiality, and be organized into three volumes covering accreditation, facility and operational plans, and staffing with pricing.

F27AS00008-NAWCA 2027-1 US Standard Grants

Solicitation # F27AS00008

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting applications for NAWCA 2027-1 U.S. Standard Grants under solicitation number F27AS00008, with a submission deadline of September 25, 2026. This competitive grant program supports public-private partnerships that undertake long-term wetland and associated upland habitat conservation projects across the United States to benefit migratory birds, with a mandatory 1-to-1 cash or in-kind match requirement. Proposals must demonstrate measurable conservation outcomes such as land protection through fee title, easements, or leases; habitat restoration and enhancement; invasive species control; and wildlife-friendly infrastructure, all aligned with national conservation plans including the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and Partners in Flight. Projects are required to be watershed-based, avoid duplication of federal efforts, and comply with specific technical standards such as NWCG for prescribed burns and Land Trust Alliance guidelines for easements. Evaluation is based on seven technical assessment questions weighting contributions to waterfowl and other migratory birds, geographic relevance to national plans, alignment with wetland status and trends, long-term conservation durability, protection of federally listed and state priority species, and advancement of NAWCA’s partnership goals—particularly through match ratio, diversity of partners, public access, and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. A risk review assesses financial management, past performance, and compliance history. Proposals are awarded through a trade-off process prioritizing technical merit and cost-effectiveness over lowest price. Applicants must submit a single PDF containing mandatory sections including a project summary, financial plan, tract table, and responses to all seven assessment questions, adhering to strict page limits and formatting rules. Supporting documents such as deeds, easements, NICRAs, and GIS shapefiles must be properly attached and emailed to dbhc@fws.gov. All entities must have a current UEI in SAM.gov, disclose conflicts of interest, pre-award costs, and potential duplication, and ensure key personnel are not excluded from federal programs. The anticipated project period runs from June 1, 2027, to June 1, 2029, with estimated funding between $700,000 and $3,924,100, though no formal CLIN or option structure is defined. Performance is expected primarily in Iowa counties including Lee, Warren, Jasper, and Monroe, with final acceptance tied to land title transfer to designated entities.

F26AS00083 Aquatic Invasive Species Grants to Great Lakes States - Fiscal Year 2026 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative

Solicitation # F26AS00083

The solicitation F26AS00083 issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the Department of the Interior aims to award competitive grants funded through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) to support implementation of State Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Management Plans. These plans have been formally transmitted by state governors and approved by the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force. Only Great Lakes states or their designated representatives are eligible to apply, with performance expected within the geographic boundaries of these states. The key objective is to advance invasive species control and management efforts through federally supported grants rather than traditional procurement contracts. The solicitation was posted on June 10, 2026, with a submission deadline at the end of that calendar year. The scope and compliance requirements emphasize extensive environmental and historic preservation reviews in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation process. Recipients must conduct thorough field surveys to evaluate impacts on historic properties, ensuring adherence to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and regulatory thresholds such as age and integrity of sites. Documentation requirements include maps, photographs, detailed descriptions, and design drawings associated with the project areas. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities remain with government officials, with contractors performing work under federal oversight and compliance mandates. Although funding source appropriations under GLRI are confirmed, no pricing data, specific evaluation factors, or contract clauses typically found in federal acquisitions are included. The award process is competitive but lacks explicit details on evaluation criteria or administrative data like payment offices, invoicing methods, or contracting officer contacts. Proposals should comprehensively address environmental compliance with supporting attachments, allowing for flexible document formats, and submit by the December 31, 2026 deadline.
