- Description
- This announcement is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available. The Bureau of Reclamation Pacific Northwest Region in Boise, Idaho, per the authority of FAR 6.300 and using FAR Parts 13 procedures, intends to negotiate a non-competitive contract with Orma J. Smith Museum of Natural History, Albertson College of Idaho, 2112 E Cleveland Blvd, Caldwell, ID 83605-4432. The contract is for identifying benthic macroinvertebrates in samples located at the museum as part of the Snake River Physa Study. A three-year research study is being conducted to determine the presence and distribution of endangered snail populations and to monitor ecological relationships within the Snake River ecosystem. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541710. The small business standard for this code is 500 employees. In 1992, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed five native snails from the Snake River as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (57FR 59244). The USBR is required to conduct snail surveys to determine the effects of water operations on these snails. As part of these surveys, the USFWS and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (permit number 960716) have designed the Orma J. Smith Museum of Natural History, Albertson College of Idaho as the official depository of all collections. The museum curates and catalogs these specimens for long-term storage and maintains a GIS data base for the location of each collection. The museum is permitted to handle rare and endangered species by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (02US736292/9). Although this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, questions or inquiries may be sent to arenken@pn.usbr.gov. No telephone inquiries will be accepted.
