- Description
- Solicitation - EE133F-16-RQ-0434 The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Northeast Fisheries Science Center, (NEFSC) intends to issue a Request for Quotations (RFQ) on behalf of the Northeast Cooperative Research Program (NCRP), on conducting a review to assess internal management and coordination of the NCRP. NOAA Fisheries has engaged in funding collaborative research with stakeholders in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic since 1999, primarily through the NEFSC Northeast Cooperative Research Program (NCRP). The NCRP has formalized and expanded cooperative research among commercial fishing industries, scientists and managers with the goals of enhancing the data upon which fishery management decisions are made, and improving communication and collaboration among partners. This program has provided significant opportunities for NOAA Fisheries to develop collaborative relationships with the fishing industry and to begin to foster trust and mutual learning among the various players in the fisheries communities and science and management agencies. A review of the internal management and coordination of the NCRP will assess the progress, performance, achievements and lessons learned to date, and generate recommendations regarding internal and external process improvements to improve operational efficiency and the provision of quality science for stock assessments and fisheries management. The review shall encompass a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods. It should include a desktop review of all relevant documentation, and in-person interviews and discussions with key cooperative research stakeholders in New England and the mid-Atlantic. Electronic interviews through teleconference or written comments, e.g. email, where partners cannot be reached for face-to-face interviews may be considered. The specific deliverables and task requirements will be detailed in the solicitation. The period of performance is anticipated to be on or about May 25, 2016 through September 30, 2016. The RFQ will be issued on or about May 5, 2016, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13 via the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website http://www.fedbizopps.gov. The RFQ number will be EE-133F-16-RQ-0434; hard copies of the RFQ will not be issued. It is incumbent upon the contractors to monitor the FedBizOpps site for RFQ release and all subsequent amendments. This acquisition will be awarded as a firm -fixed price order under simplified acquisition procedures. All responsible sources may submit a quote which shall be considered by the agency. To be eligible for award, vendors must obtain a DUNS number (this may be done by calling 1-800-333-0505) and be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) www.Sam.gov.
