- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Office of Habitat Conservation,� intends to award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Soundnine to procure the following: Qty 2 - Soundnine Ultibuoys Qty 12 - calibrated Soundnine XTCO sensors Vendor to provide deployment, maintenance and recovery services for two Chesapeake Bay stations for one hypoxia season (summer and fall 2021). The stations will be in the central Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay. Vendor to provide deployment continuous real-time data delivery to NOAA Chesapeake Bay from these two stations for one season not to exceed one year. The Soundnine sensors developed for the original pilot were developed to significantly lower the cost of existing compatible sensors in the market allowing the Chesapeake Bay Program (the Program) to improve the resolution and durability of this type of monitoring platform. The impact of not using this brand will result in the Program�s inability to conduct Phase 2 of the research in the manner the pilot study was implemented to do. Phase one of a pilot study is in cooperation with the EPA. The EPA paid for 1 Soundnine Real-time Inductive Hypoxia Mooring system including 1 Ultibuoy, the development of 4 prototype Soundnine inductive XIM-CT(P)DO sensors and the services to deploy the system for the duration of the first pilot in Chesapeake Bay and the data management to deliver calibrated data. The successful pilot has led the Chesapeake Bay Program (NOAA & federal partners) to seek a second phase of testing which includes evaluating hypoxia data across two stations for an extended duration to investigate sensor durability and spatial variability within a segment of the Chesapeake Bay. One station will replicate the initial study with greater vertical resolution by adding additional sensors to the investigation. The new sensors must have the same form, fit and function as the existing system in order for the calibrated data to be consistent with existing data from phase 1.� No other sensors on the market can meet this requirement. Period of Performance will be from Date of award htrough December 31,2021. The applicable Size Standard is North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334519, with a Small Business size standard of 500 employees.� This is a simplified acquisition with an estimated value of less than $250,000.00 Total. ***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 NOTICE. 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. Attachment Single Source Determination
