- Description
- SOLICITATION: NFFS7300-16-02907JR SPECIAL NOTICE - INTENT TO AWARD ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Kaggle.com to run a data science competition for the purpose of creating a pilot algorithm for the Stellar sea lion count throughout the North Pacific Ocean. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA), National Marine Mammal Laboratory (MML) to collect research data and count of adult Stellar sea lions. Monitoring these populations is essential for MML biologists to conduct annual aerial surveys to collect high resolution digital images of terrestrial sites where Stellar sea lions rest on shore during the summer breeding season. This initial effort is to provide a pilot counting algorithm suitable for testing with images that have already been processed rather than a production-ready application. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
