The intent of this announcement is to identify sources that are qualified business concerns capable of performing the following tasks. 1) Collect blood samples from salmon and other marine fish in order to determine plasma insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I, a hormone that is a biomarker for growth) and 11-ketotestosterone (11KT, a hormone that is a biomarker for male maturation). The following is required for this work: a) collect blood samples from the fish of interest in Puget Sound and coastal areas of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska on research cruises of up to 3 weeks duration; b) be responsible for preparing, organizing and storing plasma at sea; and c) record and maintain data on fish and plasma samples. Driving government vehicles will be required for this work. 2) Measure plasma levels of 11-ketotestosterone by enzyme immunoassay and salmon IGF I by specific time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay. Analysis of up to 4000 samples will be required. 3 Entry, organization and analysis of data. This includes data entry, conducting statistical analysis, data interpretation and report writing. 4) Assist NOAA staff with data analyses using basic statistical software such as JMP and Statview. This includes: a) data entry into a standard excel spreadsheet, b) conduct basic statistical analysis using standard software to determine simple summary statistics, and prepare graphs of results for manuscripts and presentations.
