- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Parts 12 and 13, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This solicitation is set aside exclusively for small business concerns. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A SEPARATE WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. Solicitation Number NFFK0007-12418 is issued as a request for quotations. The associated North America Industry Classification System code is 511210. The Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), has a requirement to conduct economic analysis of fisheries policies. The government requires 2004 Implan Data for Coastal Counties. To that end, specialized data and software helps in the analysis of the impacts of NMFS policies on local economies. For example, the data will help answer whether area closures affect the financial viability of some communities more negatively than others. The data will also allow the analysis of the impact of our policies on boat-builders, fish processors, and other industries closely tied to the commercial fisheries at a detailed geographical level. Additionally, the data also helps in the analysis of how policies will impact recreational fishermen. Some policies may induce fishermen to undertake other recreational activities which would affect the economies of coastal communities. The government requires the actual economic model and county level data files for the entire U.S. As a result of this synopsis, the government anticipates a single award. NMFS previously purchased IMPLAN data in 1995 and in 1998 and updated the data sets. The government requires the base data using national economic data, and currently requires the 2004 updated data sets. The government's estimate for this data is $33,000.
