All stable isotope data (?13C and ?18O) should be traceable using international standards. Base period of performance is September 30, 2021 to September 29, 2022. The expected delivery date for ?13C and ?18O results to be received will be September 29, 2022.

NOAA, NMFS, Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC), Panama City Laboratory have required the analysis of stable isotopes from bluefin tuna otolith samples collected from NOAA Fisheries. In order to ensure standardized results and avoid inter-laboratory variability of results NOAA, the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) European Union�s (EU) sampling program, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada have utilized the same laboratory for 10+ years. This requirement is for continued stable isotope analysis of Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus. The applicable Size Standard is North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 541380�with a Small business�size standard of$16.5 M **THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE.
