- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, Leetown Science Center, Fish Health Branch, intends to make a non-competitive award via written request for quotation No. 03ER11-No Solicitation number) to The Ohio State University Research Foundation (OSURF) in Columbus, Ohio, for research on the effects of toxic substances on fish health in the Ashtabula River. The complete date for the research is mid-summer 2003. The OSURF is uniquely qualified due to their experience with field collection of fish as well as skill in genetic blood assays and background in pathology. Detailed scoring of external abnormalities is being used at OSURF as an indicator of contaminant exposure and effects. A new comet assay for genetic damage in red blood cell nuclei is also being field tested. The fish captured in the Ashtabula and Conneaut will be necropsied and scored using the new assay. All of the Great Lakes fish records of external abnormalities reside at OSURF and can only be accessed there. The only other comet assay results from benthic fish (the Cuyahoga River and Old Woman Creek at Lake Erie and three ponds in Cape Cod) are at OSURF. Therefore, statistical comparisons among different locations can only be performed at OSURF by students actively involved in the ongoing research. THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The anticipated award date is 3/21/2003. NAICS is 541710 and SIC is 8732. Information will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Determination to compete this requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses to this notice must be submitted via e-mail to: mfritts@usgs.gov by 03/19/2003. No additional synopsis will be published.
