The contract titled R--AK-YUKON FLATS NWR-BREEDING PAIR SURVEY is a solicitation issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Department of the Interior, specifically managed by Sat Team 1 Fws. It is classified under NAICS code 541990, which covers other scientific and technical services, indicating the work involves specialized ecological monitoring or biological survey activities. The award notice was posted on July 6, 2026, and is intended to support breeding pair surveys within the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge, likely aimed at assessing waterfowl or other avian populations critical to conservation goals. The primary point of contact for this contract is Tanner Frank, reachable via email at tanner_frank@ios.doi.gov, with the office located in Falls Church, Virginia, though the performance location is not specifically defined beyond the refuge area. This contract does not specify a set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all eligible businesses regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The absence of a detailed place of performance suggests that fieldwork will be conducted remotely within the Yukon Flats region, requiring the contractor to manage logistical challenges typical of remote Alaskan environments. All deliverables are expected to align with federal wildlife monitoring standards and may include data collection, analysis, reporting, and potential collaboration with regional biologists.
