Description

NF-FN7110-22-02738AAG

***Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Southeast Fisheries Science Center, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Panama City Fisheries Laboratory in collecting data from satellite tags attached to Giant Manta Rays (Manta Birostris) and Dusky Sharks (Carcharhinus Obscurus).

***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) NMFS requirement for collecting data from satellite tags attached to Manta Rays and Dusky Sharks in order to conduct programmatic research in determining movement and habitat. These Survivorship PAT-355H and AM-P348K-00 MiniPAT-348K, tags are attached to the species and collect raw data critical for a complete analysis and comparison with previous data. Satellite tags provide high- resolution data, which will be most relevant to estimates of movement and post-release mortality in longlines. The survivorship tag (sPAT) is a pop-up archival transmitting tag (PAT tag, also known as a PSAT) specifically optimized for short-term survivorship studies. The sPAT uses a suite of sensors and algorithms to monitor the status of the tagged animal for up to 60 days. MiniPAT tags are also a pop-up archival transmitting tag that are programmed to archive longer term pressure (depth), temperature, and geolocation (light intensity) data at specific intervals and provide robust information on habitat use and movements. Delivery within 60 days of award date.

***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the Government’s requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
