Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.

The U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service, Acquisition & Property Operations, announces its intention to award a firm fixed price sole source contract through the Division of Realty.

This contract will include a base year with four option years and is authorized under FAR Part 12.102(a) for acquisitions at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) of $350,000.

Surefoot Database Consulting, Inc.

3711 Elmo RD Hopkins, Minnesota 55305 The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services.

The object of this sole source award is to have continued Filemaker/Claris (Filemaker) programming required for upgrading and modifying the Service wide Pre-Acquisition Tracking System (PATS) database provided by Surefoot Database Consulting Inc.

The requirement is for the design, development, and deployment of the National PATS database.

The PATS system functionality, provided by Surefoot, is designed specifically for the USFWS Realty Program.

Surefoot has been the sole developer of the Service wide PATS system and there are no other viable alternatives.

Surefoot Database Consulting possesses proprietary knowledge of the PATS database as well as extensive experience with USFWS land acquisition operations.

Due to these proprietary constraints and Surefoot¿s unique historical familiarity with both the system and FWS acquisition processes, other vendors are not equipped to meet the technical and operational requirements of this work.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.

This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
