- Description
- NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in Christchurch, New Zealand for the completion of two interim drafts and a final draft of chapter 3 ("future Ozone and Its Impact on Surface UV") of the 2010 Ozone Assessment for the Montreal Protocol's Scientific Assessment Panel. The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) requirement for the services of NIWA. Their principal investigator was selected as the Coordinating Lead Author of Chapter 3 of the 2010 Ozone Assessment which is provided to over 190 nations that are Parties to the United Nations Montreal Protocol which protects the Earth's ozone layer. NIWA's principal investigator's scientific expertise and experience in the assessment process, particularly his leadership during the previous 2006 report, uniquely qualify NIWA's principal investigator to serve as the Coordinating Lead Author of Chapter 3 of the 2010 report that is currently in preparation. The period of performance is January 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide equipment that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 10 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
