About this file
This document is a Notice of Intent to Issue a Sole Source Contract for testing packages on a Herder Burner Jetski Platform, issued by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). The sole source contract will be awarded to Prince William Sound Science and Technology Institute, which is deemed the only entity possessing the unique qualifications and expertise to meet the program requirements. The project offers two key benefits: providing a comprehensive system to respond to oil spills on water and developing multiple configurable platforms for oil spill response in varying conditions.
The anticipated period of performance is 18 months from the award date, with a response deadline of 5:00 p.m. ET on September 30, 2020. The contract (Reference 140E0120R0008) is specifically for "Freeze-Up and Break-Up of Arctic Sea Ice in the U.S. Beaufort and Chukchi Seas" and involves proprietary hardware and software equipment. BSEE has determined that Prince William Sound Science and Technology Institute is the sole source capable of conducting the testing and evaluation phase for this specialized research program, which will help mitigate serious capability gaps in mission response.
