- Description
- NFFS7200-15-03040RDS ***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 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute of Woods Hole, MA for assisting the National Marine Fisheries in measuring radiocarbon (C-14) with Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) in samples of fish otoliths, which will enable researchers to establish a known age of fish based on the radiocarbon dating. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries' (NMF) requirement for measuring radiocarbon in samples of fish otoliths. The proposed contract is a continuation of previous research where a progression of different species is being studied. The new C-14 measurements will be compared to the previous measurements. Therefore, for scientific continuity, it is necessary that future research use the same AMS procedures, form the same supplier. This will allow valid comparisons between previous C-14 values and new C-14 measurements. If other suppliers of C-14 suppliers are used, an introduction of unknown differences may occur. The period of performance is from the date of award through August 31, 2017. ***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.
