- Description
- This is a Special Notice of intent to procure Dr. Kanaiwa to a conduct size-at-catch research and stock structure analyses in support of North Pacific Ocean shark and billfish stock assessments. The research is organized into two collaborative research projects, which targets blue shark (Prionace glauca), shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus), and swordfish (Xiphias gladius). Project 1 includes the collection of size data on blue shark, shortfin mako shark, and swordfish caught by the Japanese offshore surface longline fishing fleet that land their catch at small fishing ports in the northern portion of Honshu Island, Japan. In addition, tissues samples will also be collected from blue and shortfin mako sharks landed in these ports. Small fishing ports are now common in northern Honshu Island as a result of the March 11, 2011 Tsunami that destroyed most of the major fishing ports in this area, and approximately 90% of the swordfish catch is landed in these ports. Project 2 will conduct DNA sequencing on shark tissue samples collected at these small ports to ascertain stock structure. The Government intends to negotiate a firm fixed price contract with the period of performance commencing approximately one year from the award date. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541690 with a corresponding size standard of $7.0M. This Special Notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available; however, other potential sources with the expertise and required capabilities may submit such data which demonstrates the requirements stated above. Submissions are due no later than August 20 2012 at 12:00 pm HST, Honlulu, HI. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
