R--Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source for temporary services

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Contracting and General Services Division in Portland, Oregon, plans to procure temporary clerical services for the Yreka Fish & Wildlife Office to support administrative functions and business management activities. Personnel Preference is identified as the sole source capable of providing these services, leading to a sole source award rather than a full and open competition. This decision aligns with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 6.302-1), which permits other than full and open competition under certain conditions. This action is announced through a notice of intent to award, not as a solicitation for competitive proposals. The contract intends to secure temporary clerical support to efficiently manage the office’s administrative workload. The procurement is handled under the Department of the Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service, with the office located in Falls Church, Virginia, overseeing the contract process. The notice reiterates that Personnel Preference is the only known provider that meets the service requirements in the region.
