Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisitions Division-Kansas City office intends to award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Fondriest Environmental in Fairborn, OH, a purchase order for two NexSens CB-950 Data Buoys and supporting�accessories. The Government intends to utilize the authority under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will statisfy agency requirements, unless, as a result of this announcement, acceptable responses to this notice are received and a determination is made by the Government to issue a competitive solicitation. The Government intends to award a purchase order to Fondriest Environmental in Fairborn, OH. Sole Source Justification: The NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services employs a standardized current survey system in order to help maintain a robust, reliable, and cost efficient network of coastal and Great Lakes observatories. The NexSens CB-950 buoys are used in ports and coastal regions to record oceanographic current information critical to tide predictions and coastal modelling conducted by the National Ocean Service and used by commercial shipping and recreational vessel operators. The NexSens CB-950 buoys are the standard systems used by CO-OPS for specific current measurement scenarios encountered during operations each year. Existing mounting hardware, data ingestion software, and data telemetry systems are designed to accommodate the specific buoy hardware and fittings. Modifications to these systems would require extensive engineering, design, and coding rework and would require significantly more budgetary and staffing resources to complete mission critical work. This special notice is not a request for competitive offerors and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide this service may submit substantiating documentation in writing within fifteen business days of this notice. Responses can be sent via e-mail to Abigail.green@noaa.gov. 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 response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. If no documentation is received, award will be made directly to Fondriest Environmental. DOC, Eastern Region Acquisition Division requires that all contractors doing business with this office be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). No award can be made to a company not registered in SAM. For additional information and to register in SAM, please access the following web site: www.sam.gov. To register, all contractors must have a Dun and Bradstreet number. A Dun and Bradstreet number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun and Bradstreet on-line at http://www.dnb.com/eupdate or by telephone at (844) 229- 9757.
