Description

The Eastern Administrative Support Center (EASC) intends to acquire for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) contract services to study the feasibility of developing a type of rope (line) which has the characteristics of line currently used by the fishing industry, but which will degrade to the point of breaking when it is in contact with a whale. The intent of this effort is to have a multidisciplinary team consider the technical possibility of developing this type of degradable line, and to recommend directions for future research to actually produce and test such rope. The anticipated solicitation issue date is 15 days after the date of this synopsis. No contract award will be made on the basis of any quotation received in response to this notice since this synopsis cannot be considered a Request for Quotation. This is a Simplified Acquisition with a value of less than $100,000.
