- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, intends to purchase 6- CR2 Under Water Acoustic receivers for detecting VEMCO 69KHz R256, R4K and S256 coded transmitters in sturgeon. VR2 MAP 1431 includes TADIRAN D-cell lithium battery. This item is being purchased for the National Marine Fisheries Service, Panama City FL. The intended procurement is for supplies for which the government intends to acquire under the guidelines of FAR Part 12, Commercial Items. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one company under the authority of FAR 6.302. The company is VEMCO Drafting Products of San Dimas CA. VEMCO manufactured the transmitters that are being tracked. Although there is one company who may make acoustic receiver similar to the VR2, the model has not been successfully field tested. For this requirement, there is not sufficient time to field test another product sufficiently to determine if the receiver can pick up the VEMCO transmitters that were previously attached to sturgeon. The use of any other vendor?s receiver would necessitate extensive test and evaluation that would cause the government to incur delays and costs that could not be recovered through competition. The government believes it is in their best interest to acquire these receivers from VEMCO. Any proposals received within 10 calendar days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete 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. In order to be considered, firms must furnish detailed information concerning their capability to provide an acoustic receiver that has been fully and successfully tested with VEMCO transmitters. Interested firms should submit its name, address, point of contact, telephone number, and a brief statement regarding its capability to provide the specified product. Also include the name, telephone number, and point of contact for businesses or other government agency to which it has previously provided the item. Interested firms may identify their interest and capability by sending an email message to Sharon.Walker@noaa.gov or fax the information with an email address to telephone number 816-426-7530 ATTN: Sharon Walker. The government reserves the right to solicit bids based on receipt of affirmative responses to this notice. The NAICS code for this requirement is 333419. This requirement shall be considered a small business set-aside. All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered by the Agency. All contractors doing business with the Central Region Acquisition Division (CRAD) must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR).
