- Description
- The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research at Charleston (CCEHBR), Charleston, South Carolina, is issuing notice of intent to negotiate a sole source procurement with the University of South Carolina. This procurement requirement consists of using contemporary laboratory genetic techniques and data analysis methods to perform the following: (1) identify a new and possibly endangered species of hammerhead shark (genus Sphyrna) utilizing South Carolina estuaries; (2) investigate the impact of stocking on native red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) populations; (3) determine the population substructure of black sea bass (Centropristis striata) in the South Atlantic Bight to better delineate their life history characteristics; (4) and investigate the biogeography of the grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio), an obligate food source for shrimp, crabs, and most bottom-feeding fish, as well as an ecologically important crustacean model that is widely used for toxicological studies in estuarine systems. In addition, the requirement identifies that the contractor will conduct genetic and allied data analyses to examine stock and population structures of the identified species using established sampling designs, experimental protocols, and statistical tests to compare/confirm distinguishable genetic differences among the various stocks. The statutory authority is 41 U.S.C.253(c) (1), Only One Responsible Source. The applicable NAICS code is 541710. The size standard is not to exceed 500 employees. Interested parties may identify their interest and provide evidence of their capability to respond to this requirement by 2:00 p.m., EST, 06/08/2006. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Responses to this notice, if any, must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Sandie Wallace at sandie.wallace@noaa.gov.
