Description

UPDATE - 3/27/2017 The DRAFT RFP for the ProTech Oceans Domain IDIQ has been posted on FBO under FBO solicitation number ST-1330-17-RP-0050. Below is a link to the notice: https://www.fbo.gov/spg/DOC/NOAA/1333/ST-1330-17-RP-0050/listing.html ______________________________________ The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO), is hosting an Industry Day/Pre-Solicitation Conference in support of the Professional and Technical (ProTech) Services Branch Oceans Domain on April 13, 2017. AGO's primary objective with the Industry Day event is to provide a forum to better communicate the Domain's requirements, and to increase competition through the sharing of information. A secondary objective of the pre-solicitation conference is to provide a presentation of elements found within the attached DRAFT Statement of Work (SOW). The primary clients of this Domain are the offices of the National Ocean Service (NOS). NOS has identified three priorities that reflect both its primary statutory and mission drivers, and NOAA's commitment to navigation services, coastal research and observations, emergency response, and place-based conservation programs. Coastal resilience : preparedness, response, and recovery. From oil spills and vessel groundings to hurricanes and marine debris, NOS provides world-class science and services in support of resilient and healthy coastal communities, economies, and ecosystems. In light of increasing threats to our coasts, coastal resiliency has become a national priority. NOS supports and informs improved decision making, and end-to-end coastal preparedness, response, recovery, and resiliency. Coastal intelligence. Whether it is the nation's nautical charts, environmental monitoring and assessment, or socioeconomic tools, NOS and their industry partners are committed to integrating science and services to provide actionable information. The goal is to increase ocean and coastal 'intelligence' and thereby improve the ability of public and private decision makers to make informed choices. Place-based conservation. Conserving coastal places provides economic benefits to local communities. These communities rely on dollars spent on activities such as recreation and tourism. NOS works to conserve marine areas and preserve the economic benefits of these special places to local communities through its coastal management and place-based conservation programs. These include Coastal Zone Management, the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program, the National Estuarine Research Reserve System, National Marine Sanctuaries, and the Coral Reef Conservation The ProTech Oceans Domain procurement will be best value acquisition. It will be unrestricted in regards to business size, with a majority of contracts reserved for small businesses at the IDIQ Contract level, and as permissible in accordance with section 1331 of the U.S. Jobs Act.
