F--WATER RIGHTS SERVICE

This announcement serves as a notice of intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 924110. This is the only announcement that will be issued prior to award. The Government intends to award to the California State Water Resources Control Board, 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California 95814-2828. This is an inherent state government function and can only be provided by the State of California. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) possesses water rights and requires water rights to perform its mission of moving water from water sources to water users within the State of California. The Board has the legal responsibility under California law to provide water right services for those possessing or desiring them in California, under State Water Code Sections 174, 175, and 179. Such services are necessary to enforce Reclamation's water rights or to defend against entities that dispute Reclamation's water rights. The base period of performance is September 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. It is anticipated that two (2) one-year options will be included. All inquiries and/or concerns should be addresses to James Gantar via email at [email protected] and be submitted by September 4, 2014, 3:00 PM PDT.
