Description
***NOAA'S ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER, NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE (NMFS), SOUTHWEST FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER (SWFSC) INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH OCEANS UNMANNED, INC �OUT OF SANTA BARBARA, CA FOR UAS TRAINING AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT FOR MAPPING OF THE RIVERINE HABITATS ON THE AMERICAN RIVER. ***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S DETERMINATION THAT OCEANS UNMANNED is the only COMPANY qualified to PROVIDE OPERATIONAL SUPPORT TO THE swfsc AND THEIR MISSION TO MAP SALMON HABITATS, VIA HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING, ALONG THE AMERICAN RIVER IN NORHTERN CALIFORNIA. The project requirements are time sensitive with AOC airworthiness and certification flights scheduled for August 2020, and the first mission scheduled for October 2020. Successful acquisition of the UAS image data in October 2020 is a stated deliverable in an existing grant award from the NOAA UAS Program Office (UASPO). Oceans Unmanned completed UAS image acquisition at the same sites on the American River in fall 2018, under a previous PO with NOAA. Oceans Unmanned is familiar with our field sites, has been trained on our system, has the required pilot credentials and has extensive experience working within the NOAA UASPO rules and regulations. Thus, they bring value added because we do not need to provide additional funds to get them trained/prepared for our project. If the project was awarded to another company, they would have to essentially start from scratch and would disrupt the continuity of the project. The new vendor would need to get manufacturer training on the NOAA-owned UAS, complete flight training, conduct flight planning for the American River field campaign and get certified by the NOAA AOC. This would all need to happen well before the AOC airworthiness and certification flights, scheduled for August 2020.. The base period of performance is 7/1/2020 � 6/30/2021, with 4 option periods extending through 07/01/2024. ***THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
