- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) has a full and open competitive IDIQ requirement for "After Hours Telephone Answering Services" for a base year and four (4) option years. BBL has a toll-free telephone line for the public to report recoveries of banded birds. A telephone answering service is needed to answer overflow, after-hour, weekend and holiday calls 365 days a year on a 24-hour basis. The contractor will be expected to obtain the band number and information on how, when, and where the band was obtained, along with the name and address of the reporter. This is termed "a completed transaction". For the purposes of this contract, a completed transaction is considered as one individual band recovery report. Some portion of the calls will not be calls reporting bird bands and will not result in a completed transaction; however contractor shall be required to provide those callers with scripted information provided by BBL. Contractors shall provide a cost per "completed transaction." Annually, approximately 60 million birds representing hundreds of species are banded in North America. Previous years have averaged approximately 90,000 recovered and reported bands per year. Most reports come from waterfowl hunters who have killed banded ducks or geese during the months of September through March. The NAICS code is 561421 - Telephone Answering Service.
