Description

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Science Center is issuing notice of intent to negotiate a sole source procurement with E. G. Solutions, Inc. to provide three (3) Rotary Screw Fish Traps to increase capacity of smolt capture arrays used very successfully in previous work on endangered Atlantic salmon smolts since 1996. Sampling gear that causes minimal mortality is required to collect Atlantic salmon smolts in the Narraguagus River that are part of a population that has been listed as a species of concern under the Endangered Species Act. Successive trials have indicated a negligible salmon mortality of <.75% as compared to other systems. The passive capture design; the flow through, self cleaning live-well; modular design; and the ability to locate these units in remote sections of free flowing rivers are technical features that are unique to this trap which are not available from any other source. These features make this trap both efficient and very gentle on the fish collected. With the expanded study design in 1999, it is imperative that standardized effort is attained between all traps utilized. The Rotary Screw Fish Trap is a patented item and E. G. Solutions is the sole licensed manufacturer of this trap. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253 (c) (1), Only One Responsible Source. Interested parties may identify their interest and must provide evidence of their capability to respond to the requirement by August 9, 2002. Written requests may be faxed to (757) 441-3786. Telephone requests will not be accepted. The solicitation document will be issued on or about August 9, 2002. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Numbered Note 22 applies.
