- Description
- This is the RFQ for the 2010 Trawl and Sea Turtle Research requirement. TITLE: 2010 TRAWL AND SEA TURTLE RESEARCH The Eastern Acquisition Division (EAD) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Norfolk, VA is soliciting quotes, on behalf of Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for Trawl and Sea Turtle research support for projects relative to the Northeast fisheries. We are requesting proposals that test gear modifications in otter bottom trawl gear to determine the change, if any, on the targeted catch. This work must use a comparative experimental design and be outfitted in trawl gear that is representative of gear commonly used in the commercial fishery. The trawl net with the by-catch reduction device (BRD) must be compared to an acceptable control (e.g., trawl net with the BRD removed) using accepted comparative sampling strategies. The exact gear modification will be determined after the conclusion of a trawl workshop that is scheduled to be held before September 30, 2010. This is a 100% Total Small Business Set-aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the acquisition is 541712 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. The small business size standard is 500 employees. The solicitation and proposed fixed-price contract will be issued utilizing FAR Part 12 and the test procedures identified in FAR Subpart 13.5, Test Program For Certain Commercial Items and will be evaluated on a best value basis wherein the following factors listed in descending order of importance, (1) Experience; (2) Past performance; (3) Price. When combined experience and past performance are significantly more important than price. All responsible sources may submit a quote that shall be considered by the agency. To be eligible for award, vendors must obtain a DUNS number (this may be done by calling 1-800-333-0505) and be registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR): www.ccr.gov. Prospective contractors are also required to complete electronic annual representations and certifications at http://orca.bpn.gov in conjunction with the required CCR registration. The solicitation will be available electronically on or about June 11, 2010 via FedBizOpps at www.fedbizopps.gov. Amendments to the solicitation will also be provided on the Internet using the same protocol listed above. Telephone requests for hard copies will not be honored. Hard copies of the solicitation may also be provided in response to a written or faxed request received directly from the contractor. Requests for hard copies of the solicitation may also be faxed to (757) 441-3636. Quotes will be accepted electronically at the following email address: Brian.O'Boyle@noaa.gov and via facsimile at (757) 441-3636.
