Description
The U.S. Forest Service is preparing to award a sole‑source contract to NatureServe Analysis Inc. to provide nationwide biodiversity data—including aquatic and terrestrial species patterns and imperiled status—critical for forest‑management decisions across the continental United States and Alaska. The agency will not issue a formal solicitation; interested parties may submit a capability statement by the response deadline, after which the award will proceed if no affirmative responses are received. This opportunity is highly specialized, requiring expertise in large‑scale ecological data compilation and analysis, and is limited to firms that can meet the agency’s stringent scientific and spatial‑scale requirements.
• Deliver comprehensive species‑level information (aquatic & terrestrial) for CONUS + Alaska at the HUC‑8 watershed scale.
• Provide imperiled‑status assessments to support forest‑resource planning, sustainability, timber, recreation, and wildfire‑control projects.
• Submit a statement of capability, business identifiers (CAGE/DUNS), and small‑business status (if applicable) via email to the point of contact.
