B--WA-SAN JUAN ISLANDS NWR-MONITORING
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting a contract for monitoring work at the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge to support management of native plant populations. The scope is to conduct baseline plant and pollinator surveys, with pollinator monitoring identified as the core service. The requirement is being handled as a sole-source acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold because Susan Waters, PhD, is identified as the only reasonably available source due to her experience in the Pacific Northwest and the San Juan Islands, with the Institute of Applied Ecology through Quamash EcoResearch LLC facilitating the agreement. The acquisition is described as fair and reasonable based on prior work, and the listed primary contact is Marshall Richard at marshall_richard@ios.doi.gov.
