- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to make award, on a sole source basis, to Proteus Research and Consulting, Ltd. (PRC) Due to an interest in declines in amphibians, a large-scale monitoring and research program is to be conducted. The monitoring plan incorporates three levels of sampling and estimation. The intermediate level of sampling and inference will use detection/non-detection data collected during repeat visits to sample units in order to estimate the proportion of sample units occupied by species of interest. The general objective of the proposed work is to explore study design options with the ultimate goal of determining designs that are optimal for specified purposes. Vendor will supply equations, computer software, figures or tables permitting user/reader to determine the appropriate sampling designs for specified objectives. A final report including components will be ready to submit to major ecological journals. PRC is considered to be the sole source for this work because the director of the company was the lead researcher in developing the closed models used in occupancy estimation. This work led to the initial scientific publication on the method and a manuscript on assessing fit of models. PRC is the only know vendor with staff with required statistical knowledge, programming ability and experience with the models needed to perform these services within one year. This award will be made on or about February 19, 2003, under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $100,000.00. The delivery date for services will be one year from date of award. The NAICS code for the acquisition is 541710. THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. . Interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to respond within ten days of this announcement. All responses must be in writing by facsimile to the Contracting Officer at (703) 648-7367 or e-mail mfritts@usgs.gov. A determination not to continue with this acquisition based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive acquisition. See Note 22.
