- 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 the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) of New Hyde Park, NY, for surface radiation monitoring at Prospect Hill, Bermuda as part of the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN). The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) market research and expert knowledge in determining that BIOS is a unique source to provide the specialized monitoring capability at this particular BSRN site in Bermuda. Continuity and accuracy of the long term radiation record is the foremost priority. Inter-comparison with other sampling values that are co-located at this site owned and operated by BIOS are also very important in the climate research conducted there by the ESRL/Global Monitoring Division. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet 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.
