- Description
- ***THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION�S (NOAA) ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER, NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE (NMFS), INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH MAREL, INC. OUT OF BELLEVUE WASHINGTON FOR MAREL M1100/PL2262 SCALES AND 5KG STAINLESS STEEL CALIBRATION WEIGHTS TO BE DELIVERED TO WOODS HOLE MA. ***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON NOAA�S REQUIREMENT THAT MAREL, INC. IS THE ONLY VENDOR THAT MANUFACTURES AND DISTRIBUTES THIS MAREL M1100 PL2262 MOTION-COMPENSATING MARINE PLATFORM SCALES, AND STAINLESS STEEL CALIBRATION WEIGHTS. TWO HUNDRED FIFTY-SIX (256) M1100 PL2262 MAREL MARINE DIGITAL MOTION-COMPENSATING SCALES ARE CURRENTLY IN USE BY ALL OBSERVERS DEPLOYED ON COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS. THE GOVERNMENT HAS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE COLLECTION OF DATA BY THE FISHERIES MONITORING OPERATIONS BRANCH (FMOB) OBSERVER PROGRAMS AS REQUIRED BY THE NORTHEAST REGIONS�S FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS (FMPs) AND AS MANDATED BY THE MAGNUSON STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT AND THE SUSTAINABLE FISHERIS ACT. MANY FMP�S INCLUDE QUOTA MONITORING AND DISCARD RATES THAT ARE CALCULATED USING OBSERVER CATCH WEIGHT DATA, MAKING IT MISSION CRITICAL TO COLLECT ACCURATE AND PRECISE CATCH WEIGHT DATA. MARINE DIGITAL MOTION-COMPENSATING SCALES HAVE HELPED ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE OF IMPROVED WEIGHT COLLECTION IN A MORE EFFICIENT AND SAFE MANNER. THE NOAA NEFSC OBSERVER PROGRAMS ARE TO COLLECT ACCURATE DATA ON COMMERICAL FISHING VESSELS TO BE USED FOR FISHERIES MANAGEMENT. �DATA COLLECTION BY THESE SCALES ARE PART OF THE OBSERVER DATABASE ADMINISTERED AND MAINTAINED BY THE NEFSC. IT IS MISSION CRITICAL TO HAVE ALL OBSERVERS USING DATA FROM THE SAME SCALES AND HAVE THE SAME CALIBRATION STANDARDS TO MAINTAIN DATA INTERGRITY. �THE MAREL SCALES ARE USED ON THE NOAA NEFSC VESSEL SURVEYS AND ARE ALSO USED BY OTHER NOAA OBSERVER PROGRAMS DUE TO THEIR HIGH LEVEL OF ACCURACY. MAREL HAS PRODUCED A BLUETUOOTH POWER SUPPLY ON THE SCALE THAT CAN TRANSERFER DATA TO ANY ANDROID APPLICATION FOR USE. MAREL DOES NOT REQUIRE THE USE OF THEIR PROPRIETART APPLICATION TO CAPTURE THE DATA FROM THE SCALE. �OBSERVER DATA IS COLLECTED AT-SEA ON AN ANDROID TABLET INTO OASIS AND THE NEFSC OBSERVER PROGRAMS IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE BLUETOOTH TRANSFER OF DATA FROM MAREL SCALE DIRECTLY TO OASIS. THE AT-SEA BLUETOOTH TRANSMISSION OF OBSERVER CATCH WEIGHT DATA TO OASIS WILL SIGNNIFICANLY REDUCE TRANSCRIPTON ERRORS AND ENHANCE OUR MISSION TO COLLECT ACCURATE AND PRECISE DATA. MAREL INC, DOES NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORIZED RESELLERS AND THEY ARE THE SOLE SOURCE. DELIVERY WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM DATE OF AWARD. ***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.
