The contemplated umbrella IA is IBM11A0002 with US F&WS, Region 2, 500 Gold Avenue, SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102 and performance by US F&WS, San Andres National Wildlife Refuge, 5686 Santa Gertrudis Drive, Las Cruces, NM 88012.

The PSC is AJ31, the NAICs is 813312, and the small business size standard is $14 million in average annual (gross) receipts for the past three years.
