- Agency intent is to partner with NORC through AFWA for the Oregon-specific data collection and delivery for the USFWS 2027 National Survey
- No pricing structure is provided in the notice; any pricing/fee approach (if applicable) should be taken from the attachments and aligned to Oregon-specific data collection and delivery scope for the USFWS 2027 National Survey
- Stated teaming/vehicle approach is NORC delivering through AFWA; any alternative teaming would need to be framed as a challenge to the sole source premise and supported by specifics from the attachments
- High likelihood of no competitive award path: the agency states an intent to partner with NORC via AFWA and calls this a notice, not a bid
- Critical requirements may exist only in the attachments; failing to review them risks missing the sole source justification, response instructions, and any allowable protest/objection process
- Scope may be constrained to Oregon-specific deliverables within the USFWS 2027 National Survey framework, limiting alternative technical approaches
- Do the attachments specify an objection/comment process for the sole source (format, recipient, and evaluation criteria) prior to the 2026-03-26 deadline?
