- 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 Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission to conduct Albacore Port Sampling for 2015 Season. This Sampling is vital to research activities at the NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Service's, Southwest Fisheries Science Center. The sampling program is currently the only method of obtaining biological data from this fishery. These data are essential in assessing the status of the North Pacific albacore stocks. The data and associated analyses help the Center provide needed advice to the United States fisheries management councils and international fisheries negotiators for the management of North Pacific albacore stocks. The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Council (PSMFC) is uniquely qualified to provide the required services because the data that are being collected come from sales receipts that are submitted to state fisheries agencies. These sales receipts are confidential and are owned by the state. PSMFC has access agreements in place (in accordance with the Interstate Compact as approved by Public Law 87-766 and Public Law 91-315) with each state agency to gain access to these data. NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service does not have direct access to the data through the state agencies. This notice represents the only official notice. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. It is the Government's belief that only Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission can complete the work and provide the deliverables under this contract. However, interested firms or individuals may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement by submitting in writing their name and information to the identified point of contact within 15 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. Questions concerning this announcement must be emailed to Maria Mendoza at maria.l.mendoza@noaa.gov or faxed at (206)527-7513. This is a simplified acquisition.
