- DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Coast Guard intends to procure licenses to access the Federal Marine Fisheries Regulations Coast Guard wide from the period of performance of 01 September 2005 to 31 August 2006. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial item in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Therefore, please read this entire notice, the instructions herein, and the attachment documents carefully. This acquisition is on a(n) Small business set aside basis. SCOPE: Statement of Work Major Tasks: 1. Supplier agrees to provide Federal Marine Fisheries Regulations to the United States Coast Guard (USCG), for the period of 1 September 2006 through 31 August 2007. These regulations will be utilized by fisheries boarding officers, aircraft commanders and operations oversight personnel to enforce federal fisheries regulations at-sea and on the dock. Key requirements of these regulations are that: a. They must be clearly organized and formatted to provide quick and easy access for enforcement personnel to the appropriate section of the regulations. As many sections of the regulations reference other sections, section references should be clearly linked for quicker reference by enforcement personnel. For the period from 1 September 2006 through 31 August 2007, the irrevocable, non-exclusive right to use, store, reproduce in any medium, or transmit in any form or by any means, all the data and updates (deliverables) described in this SOW; supplier retains the right to sell or otherwise market to any other entity or individual the data and service covered by this SOW. b. They must be kept up-to-date with updates provided to the Coast Guard on a regular basis, at a minimum monthly. c. They must contain all appropriate parts of Titles 15, 46 (Part 28 only) and 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations that are enforced by the Coast Guard. Current regulations being provided include 50 CFR 216, 222, 223, 224, 226, 229, 230, 300, 403, 600, 622, 635, 640, 648, 654, 660, 679, and 697; 15 CFR 904 and 922; 46 CFR 28 and the Lacey Act, 16 USC 3371-3378. d. They must be provided in electronic .chm format, windows CE and Palm format. The supplier should be able to provide at the request of field units a paper copy of all or portions of these regulations?excluding regulations applicable to the U.S. west coast?in the form of its Books GEN, ADM, NE/MA, and SA/C/G, paid for by the requesting units at a cost in addition to this contract. Paper copy service should also include a monthly update feature. The USCG will ensure that the data provided to it under this agreement, in whatever form, is protected from use by anyone outside the Coast Guard. Excerpts from the regulations will be allowed to be used by the Coast Guard for inclusion in law enforcement case packages and other official purposes, whereby the information will be transferred outside the Coast Guard. 2. In addition, supplier will maintain the existing Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) regulated areas database. This database consolidates all the geographically defined regulatory areas in the federal marine fisheries regulations into one Excel file so that these areas may be imported into Coast Guard command and control systems. Supplier will need to provide all areas that are promulgated as final regulations, provided that can be done on the basis of the regulatory text, plus use of MapTech software for the sole purpose of creating latitude and longitude points for land intersections described in the regulations. For this purpose, the USCG will provide the supplier with MapTech software program and data disks. Updates must be provided on a regular basis, at a minimum monthly. VMS updates should be formatted identically to that being used at present (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets), and updated files will be transmitted via e-mail. 3.
