- SYNOPSIS OF: PERFORMANCE MEASURE STUDIES, WELL-BEING ANALYSES, COMMUNITY CLUSTER ANALYSES AND SOCIAL INDICATORS STUDY: IMPROVING THE CONDUCT OF SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS (SIAS) IN THE NORTHEAST REGION. The Eastern Acquisition Division (EAD) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Norfolk, VA is soliciting quotes, on behalf of Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for Performance Measure Studies, Well-being Analyses, Community Cluster Analyses and Social Indicators Study: Improving the Conduct of Social Impact Assessments (SIAs) in the Northeast Region. NOAA is requesting quotes that can accomplish the following: (a) The core of the in-person survey of well-being, job satisfaction and sector participation of individual and former fishermen and vessel owners for the Mid-Atlantic would remain identical to the current New England version, thus allowing it to be part of the time series that these two baseline efforts will begin. The Mid-Atlantic survey, as the New England one, will be accompanied by carefully associated oral histories to capture the fishing family, household and community aspects of well-being not covered in the survey of individual and former fishermen and vessel owners. In addition, because this will be a streamlined version of the New England survey (which already asks some management and sector-specific questions), it will be possible to add some additional questions relative to key fishery performance measures as viewed by industry members - while still keeping the survey to approximately 30 minutes. This section of the survey would parallel an industry outreach effort on fishery performance measures that was completed in New England in April 2010 by the Gulf of Maine Research institute (GMRI) under a CINAR grant. (b) An updated run will be conducted of the original overall cluster analysis of all Northeast Region communities in the latest version of the SSD. Following on from this separate runs will be conducted on sub-sets of communities that are associated with each of the current Northeast Region FMPs. (c) A standardized set of social indicators to measure resilience/vulnerability, sustainability and other indicators (e.g., gentrification) in the Northeast will be developed that is complementary to such a dataset for the Southeast, and actual indicators will be created and analyzed. As part of this process, a data management protocol will be developed in conjunction with NEFSC and NMFS Southeast Region personnel, to allow data portability and comparisons across regions. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the acquisition is 541712 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. The solicitation and proposed fixed price contract will be issued utilizing FAR Part 12 and the test procedures identified in FAR Subpart 13.5, Test Program For Certain Commercial Items and will be evaluated on a best value basis using the following factors listed in descending order of importance, (1) Experience; (2) Past performance; (3) Price. When combined, experience and past performance are significantly more important than price. All responsible sources may submit a quote that shall be considered by the agency. To be eligible for award, vendors must obtain a DUNS number (this may be done by calling 1-800-333-0505) and be registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR): www.ccr.gov. Prospective contractors are also required to complete electronic annual representations and certifications at http://orca.bpn.gov in conjunction with the required CCR registration. The solicitation will be available electronically on or about July 20, 2010 via FedBizOpps at www.fedbizopps.gov. Amendments to the solicitation will also be provided on the Internet using the same protocol listed above. Telephone requests for hard copies will not be honored. Hard copies of the solicitation may also be provided in response to a written or faxed request received directly from the contractor. Requests for hard copies of the solicitation may also be faxed to (757) 664-3636. Quotes will be accepted electronically at the following email address: Brian.O'Boyle@noaa.gov and via facsimile at (757) 664-3636.
