- Announcement of Opportunity (RFP) 1410-00002 Request for Proposals for providing Spectral Irradiance and Optical Attenuation and Absorption Instruments on Fixed Platforms (OOI) The Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Ocean Leadership"), with funding from the National Science Foundation, is soliciting proposals from qualified organizations interested in providing two classes of instruments (Spectral Irradiance (SPKIR) and Optical Attenuation and Absorption (OPTAA) instruments and related services to support the objective of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI)). The two classes of instruments may be awarded separately or both may be awarded to the same vendor. The OOI will construct a networked infrastructure of oceanic sensor systems to measure physical, chemical, geological, and biological variables in the ocean and seafloor. Measurements from these SPKIR and OPTAA Instruments will form the basis for answering many of the scientific questions and meeting the scientific goals of the OOI. The selected firm will provide approximately 27 SPKIR Instruments of 2 different series and 57 OPTAA Instruments of 4 different series for deployment on fixed platforms at OOI arrays. The OOI intends to award one Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for each instrument class (One for SPKIR Instruments and one for OPTAA Instruments). Ocean Leadership is seeking firms who are interested in submitting proposals for the SPKIR and OPTAA Instruments. Ocean Leadership is the only point of contact for this procurement. Potential Offerors who intend to submit a proposal should plan on participating in an online informational Bidders' Conference (via WebEx) to be held on January 6, 2011. The purpose of this Bidders' Conference is to provide an overview of the OOI program and design; the roles of the existing Implementing Organizations; and the high-level requirements of this RFP. Prospective bidders are encouraged to participate but must inform the Ocean Leadership Director of Contracts and Grants of their intent to attend by e-mailing their request to RFP1410-00002@oceanleadership.org before Noon EST (9 AM PST) January 4, 2011. Include the phrase "Optical Instruments RFP Bidders Conference" in the subject line of the email. Instructions on how to participate in this online conference through WebEx will only be provided after the receipt of an RSVP. PLEASE NOTE: The Bidder's Conference will be online only and the ability to sign on will be limited to those who submit an RSVP prior to the Noon EST (9 AM PST) January 4, 2011 deadline. Email a signed offer/proposal by 4PM EST (1 PM PST) on January 26, 2011, to RFP1410-00002@oceanleadership.org, and include the phrase "Optical Instruments RFP" in the subject line. Ensure that the Proposal Conformance Checklist (see Section A.5 of the RFP) is included. Mail one (1) signed original, two (2) copies and two (2) electronic copies of each proposal volume on CDs, which must be received no later than January 31, 2011, to the following address: Jeanine Hubler, CFCM Director of Contracts and Grants The Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Inc. 1201 New York Ave, NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20005 For more information about this and other Consortium for Ocean Leadership procurements, please see http://www.oceanleadership.org/about-ocean-leadership/ocean-of-opportunities/.
