JOFOC 143041240156_Redacted.pdf

This document appears to be a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) related to a Special Notice for a federal contract opportunity.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a single source, firm fixed price contract to RKS Laboratories for the purchase of 750 hollow membrane filters required for laboratory processing of environmental DNA (eDNA) samples. NOAA is not issuing a competitive solicitation and is instead seeking capability statements from interested parties by June 25, 2024 to determine if a sole source award to RKS Laboratories is justified. The capability statements should include technical data, cost information, and evidence of the supplier's ability to meet the requirement. NOAA will use the information received to decide whether to proceed with a sole source award or to conduct a competitive procurement.
