- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO NEGOTIATE A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT. PURPOSE IS TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE STATE OF ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FISH & GAME (ADF&G) FOR NOAA NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE/ALASKA FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER (AFSC). CURRENTLY, AFSC MANAGES GROUNDFISH STOCKS IN THE GULF OF ALASKA (GOA) USING STOCK ASSESSMENT DATA COLLECTED DURING BIENNIAL GOA GROUNDFISH TRAWL SURVEYS. THE ADF&G TRAWL SURVEY COMPLEMENTS THE AFSC TRIENNIAL SURVEYS IN TWO WAYS. FIRST THE ADF&G SURVEY OCCURS ANNUALLY AND WILL CAPTURE SHORT-TERM TRENDS IN FISH ABUNDANCE NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE AFSC BIENNIAL TIME SERIES. SECOND, THE ADF&G SURVEY IS FOCUSED IN BAYS, INLETS, AND OTHER NEAR SHORE AREAS WHILE THE AFSC SURVEY IS FOCUSED ON THE ENTIRE SHELF AND UPPER SLOPE. ADF&G AND AFSC COOPERATED IN A FISHING POWER CALIBRATION STUDY DURING OCTOBER 1997. THE ADF&G SURVEY VESSEL FISHED SIDE-BY-SIDE TO A VESSEL CHARTERED BY THE AFSC WITH BOTH AGENCIES UTILIZING THE SAME SAMPLING GEAR AND PROTOCOL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE SURVEYS. THE RESULTS OF THIS EXPERIMENT ALLOWS THE CATCH RATE, SPECIES COMPOSITION, AND SIZE DISTRIBUTION FROM ONE VESSEL TO BE UTILIZED WITH DATA COLLECTED FROM THE OTHER SURVEY VESSEL, ALLOWING THE ADF&G DATA TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AFSC DATA IN STOCK ASSESSMENTS. ADF&G CONDUCTS A SECOND ANNUAL SURVEY (KNOWN AS THE SMALL MESH SURVEY) FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH OCTOBER IN THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN GOA TO ASSESS SHRIMP RESOURCES. THE AFSC HAS CONDUCTED SIMILAR SURVEYS IN PAVLOF BAY IN THIS AREA FOR OVER 20 YEARS. THE SURVEYS CONDUCTED BY ADF&G AND AFSC UTILIZE SAME TRAWL GEAR AND COLLECT THE SAME DATA. ADF&G WILL INCLUDE PAVLOF BAY IN ITS SMALL MESH SURVEY TO ALLOW A CRITICAL SURVEY TIME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED BY AFSC. THE PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION IS FOR SUPPLIES OR SERVICES FOR WHICH THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO SOLICIT AND NEGOTIATE WITH ONLY ONE SOURCE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF FAR 6.302. INTERESTED PERSONS MAY IDENTIFY THEIR INTEREST AND CAPABILITY TO RESPOND TO THE REQUIREMENT OR SUBMIT PROPOSALS. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. HOWEVER, ALL PROPOSALS RECEIVED WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE GOVERNMENT. THIS IS A SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION WITH AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF LESS THAN $100,000.
