The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole-source basis to one qualified source. This action is justified under FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii) due to an unusual and compelling urgency. The procurement is necessary to address an immediate and critical operational need, and delaying for full and open competition could adversely affect mission operations, safety, or essential government functions. The identified source is capable of meeting the government’s required schedule with minimal operational disruption.
