Description

***NOAA'S PACIFIC MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY (PMEL) INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH YSI INC. OF YELLOW SPRINGS, OH FOR PURCHASE OF SEAGUARD II MULTIPARAMETER ACOUSTIC DOPPLER CURRENT PROFILERS (ADCP) INSTRUMENTS. ***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT XYLEM (AANDERAA) IS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE SPECIFIC INSTRUMENTS THAT PMEL REQUIRES AND THEY ARE ONLY SOLD THROUGH YSI INC. THE ADCPS ARE VITAL TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM OCEANOGRAPHIC MOORING OPERATIONS AND RESEARCH. ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF OCEAN CURRENTS, ALONG WITH SUPPORTING ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS, IS CRITICAL FOR PMEL�S MISSION TO MONITOR AND UNDERSTAND CHANGING MARINE ECOSYSTEMS AND OCEAN SYSTEMS. THIS IS THE ONLY SYSTEM AVAILABLE THAT MEASURES CURRENT AT A SINGLE DEPTH RATHER THAN PROFILING THROUGH THE WATER COLUMN. THIS CAPABILITY ALLOWS IT TO BE MOUNTED IN-LINE WITHIN A MOORING LINE, ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT. THIS FEATURE IS CRITICAL FOR APPLICATIONS IN REMOTE, HARSH, AND ICE-COVERED REGIONS WHERE SPACE IS LIMITED RISK OF ENDANGERMENT IS HIGH, OR WHERE TARGETED SINGLE-DEPTH CURRENT MEASUREMENTS ARE REQUIRED. ***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.
