The Government may award a Sole Source Contract if no qualified responses are received. Respondents must provide a qualifications statement that specifies types of insect surveys completed and state their knowledge of Region Barren species. They should also state whether they are a small or large business based on the size standard above and if they are Hubzone, 8(a) or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business certified. Respondents must also state their experience with Forest Service Procedures and familiarity with Forest Service policies and objectives. This will be a mandatory element in the RFQ, if issued. Responses should be submitted via email to: rkmanning@fs.fed.us or mail to Contracting, Hoosier National Forest, 811 Constitution Ave, Bedford, IN 47421, no later than February 23, 2016.
