R--SPECIAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) issued a Special Notice of Intent to award a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price contract for a comprehensive real‑estate appraisal of a 637.2‑acre timberland parcel in Pacific County, Washington. The appraisal must meet USPAP/UASFLA standards and will support a federal land acquisition. USFWS has determined S H & H Valuation and Consulting to be the only vendor with the required historic knowledge, regional expertise, and technical qualifications, making competition unnecessary. Interested parties may submit capability statements by the response deadline, but the contract is expected to be awarded to the identified vendor. • Scope: Real‑estate appraisal of 637.2 acres of timberland, including valuation, market analysis, and compliance documentation. • Sole‑source justification: Unique prior work on the property, specialized certifications, and inability of other firms to duplicate prior effort without added cost and risk. • Procurement details: Firm‑fixed‑price, under the simplified acquisition threshold, with a response deadline of 5 PM EST Oct 5 2026.
