Description

The USDA Forest Service seeks a taxonomist to sort raw insect trap samples; identify wood-boring beetles and wood wasps to species level and other specified insects to the lowest possible taxonomic level; and screen samples for target pests and potential new threats. The contractor must prepare, label, and curate voucher specimens, maintain a project database and spreadsheet, provide biweekly summary reports, issue same-day email alerts for detected target pests, and deliver identified specimens and reports. Samples are generally collected during the field season, and each sample must be reported within 90 days of receipt with its associated data. The anticipated firm-fixed-price contract has a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. The solicitation requests pricing for all schedule items and evaluates relevant past performance, technical approach, staffing and schedule, and price. The technical proposal must describe in-house capabilities and any subcontracting, tools and equipment, and personnel qualifications or hiring practices.
