Contracting officer information and contact details
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through the Abernathy Fish Technology Center, intends to award a firm fixed price sole source 12-month contract under FAR Part 13.106-1(b) to Illumina, Inc. for the procurement of a MiSeq i100 Plus System to support genetic tracking of Chinook salmon from Coleman National Fish Hatchery and other hatcheries. This acquisition, classified under NAICS code 541511 for Custom Computer Programming, is limited to a value not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000 and is justified as sole source because the MiSeq i100 Plus System is uniquely required to ensure compatibility with existing GTSeq methodology and data integration with key partners including NOAA Fisheries, the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, and state agencies. The contract requires the delivery of the instrument along with reagent kits, flow cells optimized for GTSeq panels, and PhiX control, along with a comprehensive 12-month warranty covering parts and labor and demonstrated capability to provide ongoing service beyond the warranty period to ensure long-term operational continuity. The procurement is not a competitive solicitation, but a notice of intent allowing interested parties to submit a written statement of capabilities by email to Mary_rawlinson@fws.gov no later than June 12, 2026, showing clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government; all submission costs are borne by respondents, and telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The solicitation number is DOIFFBO260097, issued by the Department of the Interior’s IT Services FWS office in Falls Church, VA, with no additional packaging, inspection, or delivery specifications detailed beyond the core technical and service requirements.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Department of the Interior, intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract with a base period and two-year option period to the International Air Transport Association for access to the IATA Live Animals Regulations and Perishable Cargo Regulations. This procurement, identified by solicitation number DOIFFBO260098 and classified under NAICS code 519290 for web search portals and other information services, is being conducted under FAR Part 13.106-1(b) as it does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000. The primary objective is to equip Wildlife Inspectors and CITES Policy Specialists with critical, up-to-date regulatory resources required for enforcing U.S. wildlife import regulations, specifically 50 CFR Part 14 Subpart J and 50 CFR 23.23, which incorporate IATA standards by reference. The IATA LAR and PCR are uniquely available only through IATA, including their LAR verify tool and hard copies, making it the sole source for these services. The contract value is estimated at no more than $350,000, with pricing deemed fair and reasonable based on past similar awards. Interested parties may submit a statement of capabilities via email only to Mary_Rawlinson@ios.doi.gov in Microsoft Word or PDF format by June 12, 2026, demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government; however, no telephone inquiries are accepted, and respondents bear all costs associated with their submissions. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, or detailed delivery terms are specified at this pre-award stage, as the action is strictly a sole source notice to permit potential competition prior to award.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its Acquisition & Property Operations Branch of Migratory Bird Surveys, intends to award a firm fixed price, 12-month sole source contract to Situation Awareness Systems, LLC DBA Quantaero under FAR Part 13.106-1(b), with a maximum value of $350,000, which is the simplified acquisition threshold. The contract, identified by solicitation number DOIFFBO260095, is for annual technical support to maintain, upgrade, and enhance proprietary aerial remote sensing hardware and software systems operated by the agency, specifically the Aware® software solution and associated Exenditionary Intelligence Systems that control customized SEABirD sensor arrays and manage operational field data. The scope includes integrating new hardware, streamlining production workflows, and automating data processing and interpretation from specialized aerial imaging and direct georeferencing systems critical to migratory bird surveys. The award is justified solely on Quantaero’s proprietary ownership and exclusive access to the Aware® software, with no other entities possessing the necessary technical capability, and pricing has been determined fair and reasonable based on prior similar awards. The performance period is scheduled from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with the NAICS code 541512 designated for computer systems design services. This is a notice of intent, not a competitive solicitation, and only capability statements submitted via email in Word or PDF format to Mary_Rawlinson@ios.doi.gov before June 12, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time will be considered; such submissions must clearly demonstrate that competition would benefit the government, with all associated costs borne by the respondent. No telephone inquiries or offers will be accepted.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through the Department of the Interior, intends to award a sole-source firm fixed-price contract to Callyo 2009 Corp for the renewal of its Callyo Standard mobile application service, which supports field agents in investigative operations by providing masked temporary phone numbers and remote monitoring of undercover calls. This acquisition is justified under FAR Part 13.106-1(b), as it falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000 and no other vendor can meet the agency’s unique requirements, particularly the need for a proprietary system integrated with FedRAMP-approved cloud storage to ensure compliance with federal data security standards. The service is critical to ongoing law enforcement activities, and the software must enable real-time access to recorded communications while maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of evidence gathered in the field. The place of performance is Jacksonville, Florida, where the Digital Evidence Recovery and Technical Support unit will deploy and utilize the application.
The procurement action is not competitive, and the sole-source determination is based on the exclusive capability of Callyo 2009 Corp’s platform, with no viable alternatives identified in the market. Interested parties have until May 7, 2026, to submit evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government, though any responses will not result in reimbursement for costs incurred. The contracting office is located in Falls Church, Virginia, with Mary Rawlinson serving as the point of contact for submissions via email, and the notice is identified by solicitation number DOIFFBO260071. No formal line-item pricing, packaging, labeling, or inspection criteria are specified beyond the functional requirements, and while the Contracting Officer and Program Officer are named, no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is designated. The agreement is expected to be an ongoing renewal of service rather than a fixed-term contract, and no options, clauses, or socioeconomic set-asides are referenced, with all requirements centered on technical functionality and federal compliance.

The Department of the Interior, through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has issued a sole source award under solicitation DOIFFBO260048 for the enhancement and development of the SCRIBE software application. This proprietary tool, originally written in C++ and migrated to Electron JS, is used for aerial survey data compilation, processing voice recordings, correcting GPS flight tracks, and validating metadata for wildlife observation programs. The primary objective of this effort is to integrate functionality from a second proprietary application, SUMMIT, into SCRIBE to improve operational efficiency, increase data accuracy, and reduce manual verification requirements.
This acquisition is conducted under FAR Part 13 and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), justified by the contractor's unique qualifications and intimate knowledge of the software's architecture. Because SCRIBE was co-developed with government employees and is not available on the commercial market, the current contractor is deemed the only source capable of performing the integration without significant risk or delay. The work is performed in Falls Church, Virginia, and is managed by Contracting Officer Melissa Niemi and Program Officer Mark Koneff. While specific pricing and performance dates are not disclosed, the award is based on the contractor's specialized expertise and a determination that the price is fair and reasonable based on previous awards.
