Gull Abatement at Trident Refit Facility, Naval Base Kitsap, Washington

THIS PRE-SOLICITATION IS BEING ADVERTISED AS A 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE PROCUREMENT. The assigned North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this Solicitation is 561710, Exterminating and Pest Control Services. The Size Standard is $17.5. The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for one base year and four one-year option periods. The total maximum value for the contract is $822,817.00 inclusive of the base year and all options. Market research was conducted and a Sources Sought Notice was issued resulting in the decision that this procurement be issued as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The NAVFAC North West Small Business Professional concurs with this set-aside determination. The requirement will be for a Falconry Service to harass problem birds from the waterfront pier area. Due to the proximity to the water, roosting and nesting gulls are a nuisance, causing both a safety and health concern for employees. Contractor must be qualified as a Master Falconer and must attain their own Special Purpose Abatement permit, pursuant to 50 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 21.29. The actual hours of operation will be determined based on time of day when the bird pressure is highest at the site. This is not a request for proposals. However, interested parties may announce their interest and detail their capability to fulfill this requirement by responding directly to this notice to the Government points of contact below. Information received will be considered by the Government. A determination not to solicit from more than one source is solely within the discretion of the Government.
