- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce (USDOC), National Oceanic Atmospheric and Administration (NOAA), and the National Marine Fisheries Service intends to award a Purchase Order to award a Purchase Order to the University of California, Sponsored Programs in Davis, CA to provide stable isotope (δ13C and δ18O) analyses from otolith samples of red snapper, Lutjanus campechanus, using an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IR-MS). The isotope ratio measurements will be calibrated based on repeated measurements of standard reference material (NBS-19). The objective of this study is to use stable isotope analyses to provide data that can be used to estimate and discriminate nursery origin of red snapper. The specific goals of this study are to: 1) measure δ13C and δ18O from otoliths of juvenile red snapper, Lutjanus campechanus; 2) measure δ13C and δ18O from otolith cores of adult red snapper, Lutjanus campechanus; 3) compare these data to δ13C and δ18O measurements made in previous red snapper, Lutjanus campechanus, projects; and 4) use these data in combination with previous stable isotope results to potentially assist with management decisions for this species. This requirement was posted on July 31, 2012 with no responses. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within before the closing date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Interest parties are to provide the address, detailed capabilities statement, and references. Interest firms shall include, in writing, the company name, address, point of contact, telephone number, and business size; a statement regarding their capabilities and qualifications; and any additional supporting literature. If no affirmative responses are received, the government intends to issue a purchase order to the University of California, Sponsored Programs in Davis, CA. The Eastern Region Administrative Division (CRAD), requires that all contractors doing business with the Acquisition Office must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). No award can be made unless the vendor is registered in CCR. For additional information and to register in CCR please access the following website: http://www.sam.gov/. In order to register with the CCR and to be eligible to receive an award from this acquisition office, all offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet Number. A Dun & Bradstreet number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun & Bradstreet on-line at https://www.dnb.com/product/eupdate/requestOptions.html or by phone at (800) 333-0505. The government now encourages all contractors to submit their Certification and Representation (ORCA) thru the on-line System for Award Management (SAM). The SAM is the single source for vendor data for the federal government. Contractors should go on-line at www.sam.gov. Award will not be made to any contractor that is not registered in CCR and SAM. Responses should be faxed to 757-664-3845. Attn: Sharon Walker.
