The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7 (Alaska) intends to award sole source procurement to Murrison, Inc in Petersburg's, AK. In accordance with FAR 6.303-1 and FAC 2005-30, this special notice announcement provides the Justification and Approval documents for Noncompetitive Contracts. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7, requires lodging for the Office of Subsistence Management council members attending the Southeast Regional Subsistence Advisory Council Meeting on February 23-27, 2009. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source will satisfy the agency's requirements. Petersburg is a small village in Southeast Alaska. There are two hotels. The Murrison, Inc has been determined to be the only company that has the space to provide lodging for our staff and council members. The CO contacted the other hotel, The Tides Inn and found they were not registered to do business with the government. In addition, the CO conducted a thorough internet search for prospective places and found several B&B that would not be able to accommodate FWS needs (only available for 1 or 2 guests). No other potential sources have been found. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals received. Award will be made 15 days after publication of this notice. See Numbered Note 22.
