Description

Notice of intent to negotiate a sole source contract with the Humboldt State University Foundation (HSUF) for the National Marine Fisheries Service/Santa Cruz Laboratory (the Lab). Purpose of proposed contract is to assist the Lab in developing constant fractional marking programs, with specific focus on 1) hatchery marking and release practices; 2) design of freshwater adult sampling programs; and 3) escapement estimation methods. Dr. David Hankin of HSUF pioneered the successful use of constant fractional marking programs in California (Hankin 1982), and is recognized as the leading expert in this field. No other source exists that has requisite subject knowledge and proven track record to design large-scale programs. This is a simplified acquisition with an estimated value of less than $100,000. Questions concerning this acquisition may be directed to Randall Brown at 206-526-6226 or fax 206-526-6025.
