Description
This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), intends to negotiate a purchase order with Northern Research Technical Assistance Center (NORTAC) for the data collection of seabird population and demographic data to continue long-term monitoring data in Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska.
