Summary of Clause Changes:

Clause STATEMENT OF NEED is incorporated as follows:

STATEMENT OF NEED (SON)

STATEMENT OF NEED

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) NOAA Fisheries Northwest Fisheries Science Center Fisheries Resource Analysis and Monitoring Division 4 Spools of 7500 feet (each) Galvanized 6X19 IWRC for Use on Commercial Fishing Trawlers

PURPOSE: Acquisition of 4 Spools of 7500 feet (each) Galvanized 6X19 IWRC for use on Commercial Fishing Trawlers.

SCOPE OR MISSION: The Fisheries Resource Analysis and Monitoring Division (FRAM), of the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is requesting proposals for the acquisition of four (4) spools of commercial trawl fishing wire rope, each spool shall contain 1250 fathoms (7500 feet or 2286 meters) of 5/8” (16mm) cable. The acquisition of this trawl wire is critical for the successful completion of the 2024-2027 West Coast Groundfish trawl surveys.

BACKGROUND: Since 1997 FRAM has conducted bottom trawl surveys off the coast of the Continental United States from the Canadian Border to the Mexican Border in depths ranging from 30 to 700 fathoms (180 to 4200 feet). These annual surveys provide stock assessment managers with critical data required for the management of biologically and economically important fish stocks located in these waters. FRAM contracts four to five commercial fishing vessels per year to perform these stock assessment surveys. FRAM supplies its charter fishing vessels with trawl warp cable to deploy its bottom trawl sampling net. The samples that are recovered are imperative to the calculation of catch per unit effort (CPUE) which in turn, is used directly by West Coast Fisheries Management. FRAM’s current trawl warps have been used for three seasons and are no longer suitable for use.

There are many safety reasons to replace the current wire rope; once deployed, the bottom trawl puts tremendous strain on the trawl warp that is used. Three years of salt water corrosion, seafloor substrate abrasion, and radial pressures around the winch drum and trawl block have further extracted useful life from the wire rope. During sampling operations FRAM has a significant investment of equipment in the water including; acoustic net mensuration equipment, sensor recorders, and the net itself, which is being towed over variable and harsh bottom, so there is substantial fiscal pressure to replace the wire rope (cable); if the wire breaks, FRAM will lose an estimated 225K in equipment. The wire ropes will be used as the “main wires” or “trawl warps” on trawlers ranging from 65 to 95 feet with horsepower ranging from 450 to 1000.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

1. Four spools containing 1250 fathoms (7500 feet or 2286 meters) of compacted (Dyfrom) steel (galvanized) core 5/8” (16mm) Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) wire rope.

2. Each spool shall be of 1250 fathoms of contiguous wire, no splices or additions.

3. Each strand shall be drawn galvanized with zinc and shall be as specified in ASTM A1023/A 1023M.

4. Steel will be of XIP® (Extra Improved Plow Steel Grade; EIPS) or equivalent.

5. Each spool shall be pre-formed (compacted) or double swaged.

6. Wire rope must be of 6X19 IWRC standard right regular lay.

7. Wire rope shall be made of Seale, the construction method.

8. Wire rope will have a breaking force equal to or greater than 1570N/mm, of kN=168 or Kgf

=17,100 or 41,000 pounds and shall meet or exceed the minimum breaking strength (force) requirements specified in standard ASTM A 1023/A 1023M for the specified diameter.

9. Each spool will be treated with a combination of both penetrating and coating lubricants to reduce friction of the individual wires as they move over each other and to provide corrosion protection and lubrication in the core and inside wires and to reduce wear and abrasion on the exterior surfaces, which includes heavy lube.

10. Wire stand core and IWRC shall be toughly covered with a lubricant for protecting and preserving their wires.

11. Minimum breaking load of 20.6 tons.

12. Minimum Modulus of Elasticity, E, for the cable shall adhere to the ASTM

Standards of Structural Strand specifies the limits at 24,000 killopound per square inch (ksi).

13. Performance benchmarks shall meet are: a high four-ball EP test values, such as a weld point

(ASTM D2783) of above 350 kg and a load wear index of above 50.

14. Wire rope shall meet specifications for corrosion protection; wire rope lubricants shall have salt spray (ASTM B117) resistance values above 60 hours and humidity cabinet (ASTM D1748).

15. Wire rope shall be specifically designed for Commercial Trawl Fishing applications.

16. Wire rope shall meet the tolerance of diameter of standard as specified in ASTM A 1023/A

1023M.

17. Quote shall include any shipping costs

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

DELIVERY SCHEDULE: 6 months after receipt of order DELIVERY LOCATION: Units will include shipping to:

NOAA/NWFSC

PROJECT LEAD: Provided at time of award EVALUATION CRITERIA: This requirement will be awarded to the offeror with the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) quote. Technically acceptable means the items quoted match the specified requirement of the RFQ. Failure to include all required items in the quote will render the quote ineligible for award. The criteria listed are all of equal value and will be evaluated on the basis of pass or fail. Please ensure to include details about what is being offered as just providing a price does not give enough information to deem technically acceptable or not.

1. The quote shall meet the Technical Specifications identified in the Statement of Need.

2. Firm-Fixed price to include FOB Destination.

CONTRACTORS INVOICE

Per NAM 1330-52.232-71 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT REQUESTS (FEB 2023) The Contractor must submit payment requests electronically through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System (IPP). The Contractor must use the IPP website to register, access, and submit payment requests. The IPP website address is https://www.ipp.gov.

"Payment request" means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment to the Contractor. To be considered proper, invoices must be prepared in accordance with, and contain all elements specified in, the contract payment clause (e.g., FAR 52.212-4(g), FAR 52.232-25(a)(3), FAR 52.232-26(a)(2), FAR 52.232-27(a)(2)).

The Contractor must include the following documents as attachments to payment requests submitted through the IPP: [Contracting Officer list required invoice attachment(s); none if left blank].

If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to submit payment requests through the IPP due to a threat to national security; a matter of unusual or compelling urgency; or because the political, financial, or communications infrastructure of a foreign country does not support access to the IPP, the Contractor must request an exception in writing. Contact the Contracting Officer for more information about requesting an exception. (End of Clause) https://www.ipp.gov/
