How to bid on Population Viability Modeling Services for US Fish and Wildlife Service
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to award a sole-source contract for population viability modeling services. This work will evaluate the progress of Mexican wolf recovery in the U.S. population through 2027. The goal is to assist in determining the status of the species.
While this is an intent to award a sole-source contract, interested businesses can submit a capability statement if they believe they can meet the requirement. This is an opportunity to demonstrate your firm's expertise in environmental consulting services, specifically in ecological modeling and species recovery.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting capability statements is August 17, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. All statements must be received by this time.
This is not a request for competitive quotes. The agency intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source contract to Global Conservation Network. However, if your firm submits a compelling capability statement, it could lead the government to consider competition for this requirement.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms specializing in environmental consulting services, particularly those with expertise in ecological modeling, population viability analysis, and wildlife recovery programs. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541620 Environmental Consulting Services.
Firms that have experience with Mexican wolf populations or similar large carnivore recovery efforts would be especially well-suited to demonstrate their capabilities for this specific project.
How to respond
To respond, you must submit a statement of capabilities. This statement should be in writing and provide clear evidence that your firm can meet the requirement and that competition would be advantageous to the Government.
Capability statements must be submitted via email only as a portable document format (PDF) attachment to [email protected]. Do not make telephone requests or offers, as they will not be honored.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is a sole-source notice, a strong capability statement can open doors. Focus on demonstrating your firm's unique qualifications and experience directly relevant to population viability modeling, especially for endangered species or large carnivores.
Clearly articulate your firm's technical expertise, past performance on similar projects, and the specific personnel who would work on this project. Ensure your PDF document is professional, concise, and directly addresses the stated objective of developing and evaluating Mexican wolf recovery progress. Highlight any specific methodologies or software you use that are pertinent to this type of ecological modeling.
