- Description
- NFFP7230-15-02228RDS ***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)(i), with CLS America, Inc. for assisting the National Marine Fisheries in processing and delivery of telemetry data from satellite-linked data tags. ***The sole source determination is based on The Marine Fish and Shellfish Biology Program requires processing and delivery of ARGOS telemetry data from satellite-linked tags to study the movements and depth behavior of wild sablefish. The Marine Fish and Shellfish Biology requires this processing service in order to receive location estimates and data from deployed tags. The majority of tags deployed on sable fish are not retrieved and, therefore, remote data transmission is essential. The tags deployed on the sablefish record depth, temperature, light, and location and this is the information being transmitted and processed by the ARGOS system. CLS America is the only vendor capable of providing the required ARGOS telemetry services that are compatible with the satellite-linked tags deployed on sablefish. There are no other companies that have satellites to provide these specific services. These services are proprietary to ARGOS. No other company can provide the services. The period of performance is from the date of award through September 30, 2016. ***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 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.
