Description

NFFS71002301427SML ***NOAA'S ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER, NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE (NMFS), ALASKA FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER (AFSC), RESOURCE ASSESSMENT AND CONSERVATION ENGINEERING (RACE) DIVISION, INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH WILDLIFE COMPUTERS INC. LOCATED IN REDMOND, WA FOR THE PURCHASE OF POP-UP SATELLITE ARCHIVAL TAGS (PSATS) TO BE DELIVERED TO KODIAK, AK. ***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT WILDLIFE COMPUTERS IS THE ONLY VENDOR THAT MANUFACTURES AND DISTRIBUTES THESE PSATS. THE AFSC SHELLFISH ASSESSMENT PROGRAM IS COMMITTED TO UPHOLDING THE SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITY OF RESEARCH AND MAINTAINING CONSISTENCY WITHIN SCIENTIFIC DESIGNS, WHICH ENSURES RESULTS ARE COMPARABLE AMONG SYSTEMS AND YEARS. WILDLIFE COMPUTERS MARK REPORT POP-UP ARCHIVAL TAGS (MRPATS) AND POP-UP ARCHIVAL TAGS (MINIPATS) HAVE BEEN USED DURING PREVIOUS STUDIES OF RED KING CRAB MOVEMENT IN BRISTOL BAY. IN ORDER TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY AMONG RESULTS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO USE THE EXACT TAG DESIGN USED IN PREVIOUS YEARS. USING TAGS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEPARATE TRUE BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES AMONG YEARS FROM DIFFERENCES IN TAG BRANDS, SERIOUSLY COMPROMISING ACCURATE ANALYSIS OF DATA. WILDLIFE COMPUTERS BRAND IS REQUIRED TO MEET THE FORM, FIT, AND FUNCTION WITHIN EXISTING SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT. DELIVERY BY MAY 12, 2023. ***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.
