- The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture, is seeking contractor(s) to provide services for the collection of rangeland data on selected sample points for the National Resources Inventory (NRI), Rangeland Field Study in Oregon. The intent of the Agency is to solicit the most efficient and effective manner to complete the requirements set forth in this document. To achieve this goal, the requirements are subject to negotiations between NRCS and the Offerors. After which, requirements may be refined and the Offerors requested to submit revised proposals. The result of negotiations will be the award of a performance based on services contract to the Contractor whose proposal most successfully addresses the requirements outlined in this solicitation. The requirements are defined based on the output of products and services and not the level of effort required to perform the functions.
