Solicitation 1333MF25Q0073 Questions and Answers

Q1. From what I can tell, the notice is specifically for external lab support. However, I wanted to ask whether the specimens for this study have already been collected, or if there is (or will be) a separate solicitation related to specimen collection. My company specializes in vessel support, and projects like this are typically the type we pursue. I’m wondering if there may be a need to charter a vessel to collect specimens, either through an existing listing or an upcoming opportunity.

A1.We collect the specimens on 3 different NWFSC fisheries independent surveys all along the entire US West Coast (from US-Can to US-Mex) at depths of 55 to 1280 m. We additionally receive specimens from ODFW and WDFW and the West Coast Observer Program, and port samplers. There will not be another solicitation to collect specimens via a charter. However, please continue to look out for future opportunities from NOAA Fisheries.

Q2. Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past.

A2. This is a brand new project; however, the services have been provided in the past, Contract No.

1305M324P0346.

Q3. We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

A3. This is a brand new project; however, the services have been provided in the past, Contract No.

1305M324P0346.

Q4: I am unclear as to how to handle the shipping costs?

Q4.1. Is the lab paying for shipping of the specimens from your facility to our lab in addition to paying for shipping of slides to your facility?

A4. 1. No.

Q4. 2. Is the shipping cost handled separately from the per slide cost (the SOW mentions estimates and refunds up to a certain amount)?

Q4. 2.1. Does the one firm-fixed price include all shipping costs?

A4. 2.1. The Firm-Fixed Price is requested to include the shipping cost from the contractor’s facility to the NOAA NWFSC facility.

Q4. 2.2. Or do we submit separately for a shipping cost refund?

A4. 2.2. The shipping costs may be separately priced if that is the normal business practice.
