Replacement Components for the Chesapeake Bay Tender - 144114471

PRESOLICITATION NOTICE
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate and award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 and RFO FAR 12.102(a), a firm fixed price purchase order to Fondriest Enviornmental, Inc., for the purchase of multiple spare and replacement parts used to support the operations of the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy system (CBIBS).

A small business set aside is anticipated to be used for this sole source requirement. The associated NAICS code is 334511.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation documents exist for the requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capabilities statement that includes technical data and cost information, sufficient detail, and convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to meet the requirement.

A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a sole source procurement.
