Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service; Alaska Fisheries Science Center, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1); with PreSens GmbH and their authorized distributor, Coy Laboratory Products Inc., for the procurement of closed-cell Respirometry sensors and components. Researchers with AFSC�s Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering division intend to engage in closed-cell respirometry research of aquatic organisms relating to ocean acidification. The project will include construction of the closed-cell research system and programming of data-collection components which will provide real-time monitoring of aquatic organism metabolic processes in response to sea water condition changes. Sole Source Justification The sole source determination is based on NMFS research projects which are designed to target critical environmental factors which affect marine organism survivability, lifespan, and behaviors. The research will model and replicate evolving ocean conditions including pH and temperature changes as a part of testing ocean acidity and water quality changes. Closed-cell respirometry allows researchers to effect water quality changes in a closed environment and measure changes to an organism�s metabolic processes as a result. The system will have flexibility and mobility with a small footprint and provide definitive measurements of Oxygen content in closed chambers. PreSens Precision Sensing manufactures the appropriate sensors which will provide the real-time monitoring and sensing needed. The system will be unique in design and construction. Special Notice This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide equipment or service that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation 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. Responses can be sent via e-mail to jason.jenks@noaa.gov.� 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. All responsible sources may submit a Capability Statement in accordance with this notice, which shall be considered by the agency if received on or before 1600 PM PDT on Jun 13, 2024.� The Capability Statement must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the requirements. Incomplete statements do not warrant consideration. Phone calls in regard to this notice will not be accepted. All electronic correspondence shall have the subject line read: Announcement Number: 143061-24-0091 Project Title: NOAA NMFS RACE Closed-Cell Respirometry System Sensors and Components package FY24 NMFS�s AFSC Operations, Management, and Information 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 unless 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 valid Tax ID number, Cage Code, and obtain a government-provided Unique Entity Identifier, which is available through SAM.gov
