Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Contracting and General Services in Falls Church, VA intends to award a purchase order to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 300 Turner ST NW, Blacksburg, VA 24061 for a qualified entity to assist with a field research project to test the efficacy of using unmanned aerial systems to monitor and study black ducks and other waterfowl species in coastal marsh systems. The objective of this work is to test one or more platforms and camera technologies to estimate the abundance of waterfowl in coastal marsh and evaluate disturbance to waterfowl. This work will help the Black Duck Joint Venture and its partners to develop accurate field techniques to estimate abundance over time and response to habitat conservation and restoration efforts. The results of this project will allow the Black Duck Joint Venture and its partners to determine if unmanned aerial systems offer a practical method for monitoring black ducks over time and space. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses 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 procurement.
