Summary (Newest Update)

Background The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is issuing a Request for Quotes for invasive control services at the Mid-Columbia River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Washington. The goal of this contract is to manage and control invasive species within the refuge to support ecological health and biodiversity, aligning with the agency's mission to conserve fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats. Work Details The contractor will be responsible for performing invasive control services which include: - Conducting site inspections to assess the extent of invasive species presence. - Implementing control measures as outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). - Monitoring and reporting on the effectiveness of control measures. - Collaborating with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. - Providing documentation of all activities performed, including before-and-after assessments of treated areas. Period of Performance The contract will be performed from July 25, 2026, to September 15, 2026. Place of Performance Mid-Columbia River National Wildlife Refuge, Washington. Bidder Requirements This solicitation is a 100% Small Business Set Aside. Bidders must demonstrate relevant experience in invasive species management, possess necessary licenses or certifications related to environmental management, and have key personnel with at least five years of relevant experience in similar projects. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior contract 140FS326P0030 awarded to GGN Solutions for $3,400 (01/12/26–02/28/26) for “WA-COLUMBIA NWR-HERBICIDE APPLICATION.” The work described for the current RFQ—site inspections, implementing invasive control measures per the PWS, and monitoring/reporting—aligns with herbicide-based invasive species control at the Columbia NWR area, suggesting continuity of similar invasive management activities. Additionally, GGN Solutions received a closely related award 140FS126P0083 for $13,650 (04/06/26–10/30/26) for “WA COLUMBIA NWR PHRAGMITES INVASIVES,” which further indicates ongoing invasive species treatment in the same general refuge context.
