- This is a Special Notice of intent to procure satellite transmission services for the Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) on a sole source basis from the Woodshole Group. The Government intends to acquire services using FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items in conjunction with FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Woodshole Group is the only company that can provide the required services. There are two global Argos processing centers, one located just outside of Toulouse in Southwestern France and the other near Washington, DC (at The Woodshole Group). Once the data arrive at a processing center, locations are automatically calculated and information is made available to users. The Government intends to negotiate a firm-fixed-price purchase order with an approximate period of performance of approximately October 1, 2018 - September 30, 2019. The NAICS code for this procurement is 518210 with a corresponding size standard of $32.5. This Special Notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available; however, other potential sources with the expertise and required capabilities may submit such data which demonstrates the requirements stated above. Submissions are due no later than July 6, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. (Hawaii-time). Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Responses shall be emailed directly to Contracting Officer, Stephanie Garnett at Stephanie.M.Garnett@noaa.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. It is the Government's belief that only the Woodshole Group can provide the requirements as stated above. This procurement also requires contractors to complete the electronic representations and certifications at the SAM website. All vendors doing business with the Government are required to be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). No award can be made unless the vendor is registered in SAM.
