- Description
- SPECIAL NOTICE/NOTICE OF INTENT. This posting serves as notice of intent that the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Eastern Acquisition Division, intends to issue a fixed price type contract for Satellite Archival Tags. The satellite tags are used to assess annual survival rates, determine the impact of fisheries interactions, and spatial distribution of studied animals. The main objective of this acquisition is to perform research on sea turtles, billfish, and tunas using satellite tags and expand the capabilities of satellite tags for the National Marine Fisheries Service research such that popup technology is suitable for smaller animals while maintaining battery life and memory of the full size popup satellite tags. The government intends to award a fixed price type contract on a sole source basis to the following entity: Microwave Telemetry Inc., 8835 Columbia 100 Parkway, Columbia, MD 21045. A Sources Sought Notice entitled - Satellite Tags, was posted in the FEDBIZOPPS on 07/12/2011 for seven days from which no responses were received. As a result of having received no responses, the government intends to issue a sole source contract to Microwave Telemetry, Inc. under the authority of Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (Title VIII, PL 103-355) as implemented at Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 12.102 and Subpart 13.106-1(b) for simplified acquisition and the authority of the test program for commercial items section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996. Justification for Sole Source: The specifications for the satellite archival tags can be found in the Sources Sought Notice and are not reiterated here. Microwave Telemetry, Inc., designed and built the referenced satellite tags. They have proprietary drawings, engineering data, and the parts necessary to build these essential components. The determination by the government not to compete this acquisition is solely within the discretion of the government. This Notice of Intent does not invite a response. However, if a response is received it will be provided to the end user for future consideration.
