Oregon Inlet Terminal Groin Permit

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Atlanta, Georgia, intends to award a sole source contract with the Coastal Wildlife Refuge Society in Manteo, North Carolina. This acquisition is required for the effects of the Oregon Inlet Terminal Groin on coastal processes and subsequent effects on wildlife habitat on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, and how allowing the groin to remain in place over the next 50-60 years will continue to affect habitat. There is no solicitation. A determination not to compete this proposed contract has been made Pursuant to 41 U.S. C. 253(c)(1), as implemented by 6.302-1, this requirement has been justified and approved in accordance with FAR 6.303 and FAR 6.304. This is a time sensitive need as it would result in a delay in permitting of terminal groin and revetment which is tied to replacement of the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge, which is the sole means of transportation to and from Hatteras Island. Coastal Wildlife Refuge Society is the only entity that provides the collected information needed.
