S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Eastern Region Acquisition Division, 200 Granby Street, Suite 815, Norfolk VA, 23510 Description: This is a notice of intent to issue a sole-source contract to Northwest Marine Technology Inc, Shaw Island Corporate Office, and P.O. Box 427, Shaw Island, WA 98286. The period of performance for this effort will be four years, with (1) one-year base period and (3) one-year options. The Government intends to award this contract on or about August 15, 2010. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. § 253(c) (1) - only one responsible source, which applies when the services required by the agency are only available from one responsible source and no other type of service will satisfy the agency's needs. Background: The Penobscot River population has been identified as requiring research comparing the survival of Salmon; from two different stocks. From 2000 to 2010, NOAA Fisheries personnel have marked over 2,000,000 Atlantic Salmon Smolts using this equipment and it is critical to maintain constant marking techniques during the eleventh year of this multi-year study. Objective: Obtaining accurate information of group marked fish is a critical research need, and the equipment outlined in this requisition has been used successfully by NMFS and USFWS researchers in the past to mark large numbers of Atlantic salmon. Scope: To facilitate the marking of Atlantic Salmon Parr and Smolts for release in Maine's rivers; state-of-the- art marking techniques are needed. Numerous studies have been conducted with elastomer and coded wire tags that indicate good tag retention and very low tagging mortality rates. Requirements: (a) Ability to mark/tag fish between 90-190 mm (b) Ability to recover marks after 2 years at sea without sacrificing or injuring the fish, while maintaining tagging rates of at least 300 fish per hour (c) Compatible with existing NWMT equipment (detection lights, MKIV tagging units, air-driven elastomer injection systems and elastomer tokens) that is currently owned and used by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center. Quality Assurance/Progress/Compliance: In accordance with FAR 12.208 Contract Quality Assurance, contracts for commercial items shall rely on contractors' existing quality assurance systems as a substitute for Government inspection and testing before tender for acceptance unless customary market practices for the commercial item being acquired include in-process inspection. Any in-process inspection by the Government shall be conducted in a manner consistent with commercial practice. Responses to This Notice: Quoters who believe they can meet this requirement are required to submit in writing an affirmative response demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the requirements set forth. All written responses must include a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information demonstrating their ability to meet the above requirements. The response must be sufficient to permit the agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet the requirements. Failure to submit such documentation will result in the Government proceeding as stated above. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Affirmative written responses must be received no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern time, August 12, 2010. All responses to this synopsis may be submitted via e-mail to Brian O'Boyle, Contract Specialist, at Brian.OBoyle@noaa.gov, with a hard copy to the U. S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Eastern Region Acquisition Division, 200 Granby Street, Suite 815, Norfolk, VA 23510.
