- Description
- The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) intends to issue a sole source award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the authority of 41 USC253(C)(1). The purpose of the proposed contract is to provide a follow-on procurement for NOAA's Alaska's Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, WA.to Dr. Michael Tillman to attend the U.S. Whale Team meetings; attend the International Whaling Committee meetings; provide expert advice on all aboriginal subsistence whaling issues and participate in all bilateral and multilateral discussions with other ASW nations; attend the annual Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission meeting as well as provide guidance and expert advice and critiques of developing issues. Dr. Tillman is the only person who is capable of providing these services by the fact that he is the only person knowledgeable of both the IWC and negotiations upon its contemporary issues. Without expertise and knowledgeable assistance, the USG will not be able to fulfill its obligations nor will NOAA be able to maintain its reputation of excellence. Given Mr. Tillman's previous experience as the U.S. IWC Deputy Commissioner, the Chair of the IWC Scientific Committee, and member of the U.S. Whale Team, makes Dr. Tillman the only potential candidate to complete these duties. This Notice of Intent is not a Request for Quotes. This notice of intent is for information purposes only, therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. All sources eligible to provide this supply must respond in writing, response must be supported by clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide services for products outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered an affirmative response. If no responses are received, within 15 days after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these services through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this award is to be sent to Suzanne.johnston@noaa.gov or to fax number (907) 789-6094.
