Notice of Sole Source Intent This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. The Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Regional Office intends to award a cost-reimbursement purchase order to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game located in Boise, Idaho for the continued management of lands acquired and transferred to the State of Idaho on behalf of Reclamation towards mitigating negative effects of wildlife habitat due to the construction of the Lower Teton Division Project and Mitigation Lands. Reclamation has found the Idaho Department of Fish and Game the only reasonable source able to successfully complete the required services due to Idaho statute and established cooperative agreements. The Teton Mitigation Areas are located in Eastern Idaho and are managed by the State of Idaho and include portions of the Tex Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA), located to the southeast of Ririe Reservoir; Cartier Slough WMA, located north of Ririe Reservoir; and the Ririe Outlet Channel, located west of Ririe Reservoir. The Resource Management Plan (RMP) supporting this initiative addresses current and anticipated future issues to permit the orderly and coordinated development and management of lands and facilities and the water surface under Reclamation jurisdiction in the RMP area. The awarded purchase order will be for a period of 12 months. Reclamation believes that only one responsible source can fully provide the services that will satisfy the agency¿s requirements. A Determination to Solicit from a Single Source is being prepared. The Government anticipates award before June 30, 2018.
