- Description
- Brand Name Justification This is a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE ORDER and is not a request for competitive proposals. The Department of Commerce/NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service has a requirement for the annual upgrade and maintenance for Echoview software and intends to negotiate with and issue a sole source, firm-fixed price award to Myriax Software PTY LTD of GPO Box 1387, 7001 Hobart, Australia. The award will be made using other than full and open competition procedures pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(A), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, and Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(2). The Northeast Fisheries Science Center uses Echoview Software to process fisheries acoustic data collected during dedicated Herring Acoustics cruises and during other resource surveys such as the spring and fall Bottom Trawl Surveys. These data have been analyzed for the past 14 years with the Echoview software, which is customized to seamlessly input and analyze large volumes of data generated by our Simrad EK60 echo sounders. Our scientific requirement is for Echoview software in order to maintain continuity in the analytic approaches to analyzing these data sets. This requirement is for an annual software license renewal and we are unaware of any other equivalent software that will analyze the data and maintain continuity. The associated North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541511 and the business size standard is $25,500,000.00 in average annual receipts. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this requirement or submitting a capabilities statement containing sufficient detail to determine if the party can meet all of the foregoing requirements. For any questions concerning this Notice of Intent, please direct correspondence to Lauren Kirkpatrick via email at Lauren.Kirkpatrick@noaa.gov or by fax to 508-495-2004. All correspondence must reference NFFM7220-13-03816. Posting date of this notice is July 22, 2013. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL BE HONORED
