- Request for Quote The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, located in Honolulu, HI. intends to issue a fixed price purchase order to coordinate and conduct fishing field trials with gillnets to test modified fishing gear to determine the efficacy of such gear on capture rate of target and non-target, or bycatch, species. Specifically, we seek a contractor to provide logistical support (e.g. vessel and fishing gear) in order to conduct an experiment to compare capture rates on nets modified with a visual deterrent (eg lights) vs. traditional or control nets in a gillnet fishery off the coast of Southeastern Brazil where sea turtle bycatch is relatively high and thus allows for statistical comparisons. The anticipated performance period is September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013. To be considered, firms must furnish detailed information concerning their capability to provide service. Such information shall include, at a minimum, name, telephone number and address of concerns for which you have furnished this service previously.

This support service is being procured under the guidelines of FAR Part 12, Commercial Items Procedures as supplemented with additional information included in this notice and in accordance with the simplified acquisition procedures authorized in FAR Part 13. This is a simplified acquisition estimated value not to exceed $100,000.00. The entire solicitation is attached. No further solicitation documents will be issued.
