- Description
- WAGE DETERMINATION CONTENT OF BID PACKAGE IS LOCATED ON PAGE 8 OF THE SOLICITATION. The U.S. Department of Commerce (USDOC), National Oceanic Atmospheric and Administration (NOAA), and the National Marine Fisheries Service, Galveston, TX intend to award a Blanket Purchase Order for commercial shrimp charter vessel services (base year and four (4) Option years. The government requires the procurement of vessel services to support multiple Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) video electronic monitoring trips aboard commercial shrimp vessels operating in Southwestern Florida waters. Fishery observers will be placed on approximately 15 trips aboard shrimp vessels to monitor smalltooth sawfish interactions. In conjunction with observers, vessels will be equipped with video monitoring hardware and software to determine the feasibility of monitoring smalltooth sawfish bycatch, release mortality, and other shipboard practices aboard shrimp trawl vessels. The objective of this research is to determine the feasibility of monitoring smalltooth sawfish bycatch, release mortality, and other shipboard practices aboard shrimp trawl vessels. In partnership with the shrimp trawl industry, the NOAA Fisheries Service Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) propose to conduct a pilot study to test video monitoring hardware and software to determine the feasibility of developing a cost-effective and reliable system of monitoring smalltooth sawfish bycatch, release mortality, and other shipboard practices aboard shrimp trawl vessels. Data on previous interactions (Figure 1) indicates sawfish are primarily captured in the southwest Florida area adjacent to the Florida Keys. Therefore, only vessels currently known to operate in this area and meet specific vessel and electronic capability requirements will be able to participate in the program. Period of Performance: July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, with four option years. Location of Work: The work will be conducted in Southwestern Florida. Shrimp Vessel Requirements: Vessels must meet the criterion required for electronic monitoring through video camera installation. Shrimp vessels participating in the project must: • Shrimp in Southwestern Florida (statistical areas 1-4) for the duration of the project. • Be equipped with a 110-power conversion system, with backup for electronic system only. • Be equipped with power take off (PTO) or equivalent winch and equipped for four trawls and one try net. • Utilize a vessel between 60 to 80 feet overall length. The vessel operator shall have a current US Coast Guard Safety Inspection Decal displayed onboard the vessel. The NAICS code for this action is 114119. Size standard not to exceed $7.5M. This support service is being procured under the guidelines of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Part 12 Commercial Items. The Eastern Acquisition Division (EAD) requires that all contractors doing business with the Acquisition Office must be registered with the Systems for Award Management (SAM). No award can be made unless the vendor is registered in SAM. For additional information and to register in please access the following website: http://www.sam.gov/. In order to register with the SAM and to be eligible to receive an award from this acquisition office, all offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet Number.
