SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE Sources Sought for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 6, Mountain Prairie Region, Contracting and General Services to Construct New Bunkhouse at Rainwater Basin Wetland Mgt District, NE This is not a Pre-Solicitation or a Solicitation Announcement. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. The purpose of this sources sought is to seek interest and gain market knowledge of potential small business sources and their size classifications, either Small Business (SB), HUBZONE, 8(a), Woman Owned, or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) relative to qualifications necessary to build a 2000 SF (with additional 500 sf basement area for storm shelter usage) bunkhouse for the US Fish & Wildlife Service at Rainwater Basin Wetland Management District, NE. This site is considered somewhat remote from most significant population areas in Nebraska and is physically located near Funk NE, in Phelps County Nebraska, which is roughly 25 miles southeast of Kearney NE. HISTORY OF THIS PROJECT: US Fish & Wildlife issued solicitation F17PS00752 on June 7, 2017, nationwide as a small business set-a side as posted on Federal Business Opportunities. The solicitations remained open for 31 days and upon closing NO PROPOSALS were received. US FWS surmised the timing was bad for soliciting proposal for this type of construction, especially since the project is considered by most standards to be isolated or remote, and most qualified contractors were already committed for the construction season on other projects. As a result of this assumption, US Fish & Wildlife is now seeking interest from qualified contractors considering possibly red-issuing the solicitation this fall ( September /October 2017) requesting proposals by late fall and making an award by December 2017 with construction to start in APRIL 2018.
