- Description
- The Government intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis with Oceanscience Group, 110 Copperwood Way, Suite E, Oceanside, California 92054-3870 for the following Item: Five (5) each Clamparatus system for mounting ATON for type 8 x 24 USCG buoy. Option Item to purchase an additional five (5) each of the Clamparatus System. The delivery time for the first five units is February 1, 2007. Option item to be purchased during the period of 1/18/2007, or date of award, whichever is later, through 1/17/2008. Items to be delivered FOB Destination to NOAA/NOS, Requirements & Development Division, 808 Principal Court, Chesapeake, VA 23320l. In order to comply with the debt collection improvement act of 1966, all contractors must be registered in the central contractor registration (CCR) to be considered for an award of a federal contract. For information regarding registration in CCR contact the CCR website at www.ccr.gov/index.cfm. Authority: 41 USC 253(c)(1). The FSC for this is 2040 and the NAICS Code is 334511, small business size standard is 750 employees. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order for this requirement. Oceanscience Group is the only known source capable of providing the required equipment. Oceansciences designed and built this mount prior to use by NOAA. Oceanscience owns the design. This is the only known design that has been accepted by the US Coast Guard for use on their Buoys. The required mounting system specifications: use of a multiple module design (ADCP, power pack, radio module) to ease installation; mount modules so as to minimize fasteners; eliminate corrosion (use non-metallic components or isolate dissimilar metals); make use of identical paints; have negligible effect on buoyancy. The device doesn?t alter the form or function of a navigational buoy, while still providing current profiles from the buoy. The ADCP and clamping mechanism are attached to the USCG aid to Navigation (buoy) after it is deployed and removed prior to buoy recovery for maintenance. The battery operated device needs to be services only once a year to remove fouling and installation of new batteries. A low powered radio link to a close point ashore provides data access.. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a proposal. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by 4:00 P.M. January 17, 2007 will be considered by the government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Evidence must be provided of ability to perform the required analysis. Responses to this notice, if any, must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Linda.Mullen@noaa.gov.
