SPECIAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.

Agency: U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Office: Lower Rio Grande Valley NWR Posting Type: Notice of Intent to Sole Source Authority: FAR 12102(a) - for acquisitions valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) of $350K.

Description of Requirement The U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intends to award a firm fixed price, sole source contract for title services, closing costs, and issuance of the final title policy in support of a land exchange involving multiple high value properties for the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge (NWR).

These services require specialized technical expertise, regional familiarity, and adherence to federal title standards essential to mission continuity and timely completion of the land exchange.

Intended Sole Source Vendor Sierra Title Company of Cameron, Willacy and Kenedy Counties, Inc.

1902 E Harrison Ave, Harlingen, TX 78550 USA Sierra Title is the only known vendor with comprehensive familiarity with the Service's land acquisition processes, the specific refuge acquisition area, and the unique title exceptions that must be cleared prior to federal land acquisition.

The vendor has a demonstrated history of supporting USFWS realty actions within the region and maintains active SAM registration.

In addition, Sierra Title is willing to accommodate Department of Justice (DOJ) requirements that title work be paid post-closing an essential compliance condition.

Their extensive historical knowledge of the region and capability to perform the work in an expedited manner make them the only viable source to support the mission-critical land exchange.

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.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
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.
