- Description
- Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) This publication serves as a notice of intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) to conduct studies to develop bycatch reducing fishing gear. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service, Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), Fishery Resource Analysis & Monitoring Division (FRAM) has a requirement for a study to develop bycatch reducing fishing gear as follows: The Fisheries Resource and Monitoring Division is charged with conducting research and scientific analysis on the groundfish fisheries within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California. The project objective is to expand the conservation engineering side of the NWFSC's Habitat and Conservation Engineering (H&CE) group in order to provide an increase in conservation engineering information available to managers and the fishing industry for developing fishing gears to reduce bycatch in the West Coast groundfish fishery. The Northwest Fisheries Science Center's Habitat and Conservation Engineering group has provided a foundation for increasing the scientific information and outreach used to inform managers, and developing fishing gears to reduce bycatch in the west coast groundfish fishery. In addition, the current PSMFC lead on this project has developed important working relationships with various sectors of the commercial fishing industry, agency and academic research collaborators, and Oregon State University Marine Extension, relationships which facilitate the studies of bycatch research. These relationship would be lost if this ongoing work was not continued with PSMFC. The Government intends to negotiate a firm fixed price contract with the period of performance commencing approximately August 1, 2009 with no option periods. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541990 with a corresponding size standard of $6.5M. This notice represents the only official notice of this solicitation. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all submittals received by the due set forth in this notice will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. It is the Government's belief that only Pacific States Marine Fisheries can provide these services. However, other potential sources with the expertise and required capabilities to provide these services may submit such data which demonstrates the technical requirements stated above in duplicate no later than 10 calendar days from the date of the posting of this announcement. This data must include sufficient information to allow NOAA to evaluate the proposal relative to the technical requirements stated above. Offerors should include a description of significant collaboration and subcontracting that will be required to provide technically acceptable deliverables. No cost or pricing data is required. Responses shall be faxed to Crystina Elkins at (206)526-6036 or provided by e-mail to Crystina.R.Elkins@noaa.gov. THIS NOT A SOLICITATION. A Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (JOFOC) is attached.
