Seasonal Bird Nesting Surveys and Biologist Services

The contract requires the conducting of seasonal bird nesting surveys between March 1 and September 30 each year, to be performed exclusively by a certified biologist. All survey activities must adhere to strict protocols to identify active nests, and any discovery of such nests must result in the immediate suspension of work to protect wildlife. Findings from each survey must be documented and reported within three calendar days of completion to ensure timely compliance and environmental protection. The work is intended to support regulatory and conservation obligations tied to habitat management in the project area. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under NAICS code 541620, issued by the Department of the Interior's Mp-regional Office, with a submission deadline of May 22, 2026. The contract is structured to ensure that qualified small businesses have the opportunity to provide specialized ecological services, emphasizing environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and rapid response to protected species presence. The location of performance is not specified, but the requirement for annual fieldwork during the breeding season implies broad geographical scope within the agency's jurisdiction.
