The contracting officer, Dana Arnold, is located in Falls Church, Virginia, and all communication must be directed to her via the provided email; failure to comply with submission guidelines or miss the deadline will disqualify responses. This action supports a federally managed endangered species recovery effort with no alternative providers possessing the necessary expertise available.
