- Description
- The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Fisheries Resource Analysis and Monitoring Division (FRAM) has a requirement for the charter of two (2) vessels to conduct a bottom trawl survey of the groundfish resources of the continental shelf and slope of the United States West Coast region. FRAM requires two (2) commercial trawl-fishing vessels with experienced crew to conduct a bottom trawl survey of the groundfish resources of the continental shelf and slope of the United States West Coast region. Further specifications and full details will be provided in the Solicitation Package. The vessels shall conduct an independent survey of the shelf and slope zone from 30 fathoms to 700 fathoms, extending from the Canadian border around Cape Flattery, Washington to the Mexican border near San Diego, California. Survey stations will be designated in the sampling manual to representatively sample the above range of depths, and will be randomly pre-selected within a geographical area and depth strata. With the assistance of the crew, the scientific party will examine the catches and record various biological data (species, size, gender, maturity, and age composition), catch (weight), and effort data. Those portions of the catch that have commercial value and are not required for biological sampling or as retained specimens will be kept and sold by the vessel in Washington and Oregon but not California. Proceeds from the fish sales will be deducted from the total cost of the survey. Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, transportation and services necessary to perform the requirements for the Annual West Coast Groundfish Bottom Trawl Survey, except as noted in the Statement of Work. The resulting two (2) firm-fixed-price (with reimbursable line items for moorage, ice and travel (to meetings)) contracts will have a base period of performance of charter from approximately mid-August to the end of October each year, with a minimum of 47 charter days each year and the option of extending the charter days through the exercise of optional days. Currently, fuel is planned to be provided via Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) contract. The proposed contract is 100% set-aside for small business concerns. The NAICS code for this procurement is 483114 and the size standard is 500 employees. All responsible and fully responsive sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by the Agency. Any resulting contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price contract. Solicitation documents will be made available for download on or about January 13, 2014 at http://www.fedbizopps.gov/.
