W--MI-ALPENA FSHRS RESRC-DOCK SPACE

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is awarding a sole source contract to Morrish-Wallace Construction, Inc. for dock slip leasing services. The contract is for the leasing of dock space for the 93-foot vessel M/V Spencer F Baird. The dock space is required because the USGS vessel base in Cheboygan, MI does not have enough frontage to accommodate all the vessels. The lease will be on an annual basis, and the NAICS code for this requirement is 488390 - Other Support Activities for Water Transportation. Some key points about this opportunity include: • The contract is for a firm fixed price. • The contract is being awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source awards when only one responsible source is available. • The justification for the sole source award is that there are no adequate dock spaces available in the area that can accommodate the 93-foot vessel. • Interested parties may submit a statement of capabilities, which must be submitted in writing and contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government.
