NOTICE OF INTENT TO NEGOTIATE A SOLE-SOURCE CONTRACT
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, hereby gives public notice of the intent to negotiate a sole-source contract pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901, using simplified procedures up to $9M, in accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul (RFO) 12.201-1, as the services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements The government seeks services from ICF Environmental, Inc (ICF) for the acquisition of Modeling Genetic Risks from Aquaculture Escapes on Wild Stocks commercial services. The procurement period of performance includes one (1) Base Period and four (4) 1-year Option Periods.
Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC), has a requirement to ensure that marine aquaculture grows sustainably and is economically viable. As part of that mission, the NOAA Fisheries, SWFSC conducts research using the Offshore Mariculture Escapes Genetic/Ecological Assessment (OMEGA) model and associated analytical tools to ensure that marine aquaculture is sustainable in its impact on conspecific wild populations, thereby preserving wild fisheries while enabling the expansion of marine aquaculture production. OMEGA modeling and analyses are used to identify and evaluate the pathways through which cultured fish from marine aquaculture operations may escape, disperse into wild populations, and potentially impact the fitness, genetic diversity, and long-term viability of those wild populations.
The key task is the Aquaculture Genetic Risk Modeling, which is to conduct detailed modeling and risk assessments for a candidate finfish species identified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), using the OMEGA framework to evaluate potential genetic impacts from marine fish aquaculture, and producing a summary report of findings; designing a new streamlined genetic ...
