T -- Cancellation of Proposed LiDAR Procurement

The Natural Resources Conservation Service, Oregon, announces that it is cancelling the proposed sole-source procurement of LiDAR data from the Puget Sound LiDAR Consortium. Responses received from a number of commercial LiDAR vendors indicate that a competitive solicitation is appropriate for this procurement. Vendors interested in submitting proposals to collect LiDAR data for NRCS should monitor www.fedbizopps for the release of a solicitation. NRCS Oregon anticipates that it will post a solicitation for the LiDAR procurement only after fiscal year 2008 appropriations have been congressionally authorized and made administratively available to the agency.
