- Description
- United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Acquisition Division, (EAD) is soliciting sources for firms with the capability to perform the following work and services for the analysis of multiple datasets to obtain indices of red tide severity, to develop stock assessments models that can incorporate indices of episodic mortality and to test hypothesis related to red tide impacts upon grouper populations, for National Marine Fisheries, Southeast Fisheries Science Center. The project objectives are to develop indices of severity of red tide upon groupers using satellite and water monitoring data; develop statistical indices of red tide severity using spatial statistical and other modeling methods; develop model framework to incorporate episodic mortality into population models; test various index construction methods to determine the best predictor; and test of hypotheses regarding size/age based mortality due to red tide. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed, NOAA may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a Purchase Order. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, then any competitive procurement that resulted would be conducted as a small business set-aside.
