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 Ligero Technical Services, for the procurement of one (1) ESL Micromill Two for high-resolution milling of Otoliths for chemical and isotopic analysis in Seattle, Washington. Researchers with the Alaska Fisheries Science Center utilize high-precision lab equipment to determine age and rate of development processes in marine organisms and how those processes are affected by environmental factors (such as temperature and chemistry changes in the marine environment). One way to accurately determine the age of ocean-dwelling fish is to sample and analyze the Otoliths of fish specimens under controlled conditions. This analytical work is conducted directly in support of Executive Order 14276 - “Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness”.

Sole Source Justification

The sole source determination is based on the need of NMFS researchers to accurately obtain information related to an organism-s age and growth development and how the developmental processes of an organism are affected by conditions in the marine environment. Researchers can then use this data to make recommendations for the expansion of some and reduction of other active fishing areas to support healthy populations of commercially valuable fish species. Researchers utilize the best available science and methods in the generation of accurate data to ultimately provide recommendations to fisheries managers.
