NOAA FISHERIES

Northwest Fisheries Science Center Sampling Net and Fishing Gear Repair Services

Background/Overview The NWFSC provides scientific and technical support to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for the management, conservation, and wise use of the Pacific West Coast’s marine and anadromous fisheries resources. The NWFSC is charged with conducting research and scientific analysis on the fisheries within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California.

The Northwest Fisheries Science Center of the NMFS annually provides stock assessment managers and mailto:Shawana.Randolph@noaa.gov mailto:Raynier.Camerino@noaa.gov mailto:Shawana.Randolph@noaa.gov mailto:Raynier.Camerino@noaa.gov https://sam.gov/content/home researchers with data concerning the abundance, distribution, and health of their associated fisheries stocks. Fundamental to the acquisition of this data are the surveys and research that provide the foundation of almost all fisheries management. The NWFSC has exponentially increased its survey and research capacity by progressively increasing survey durations and geographical locations. Each survey is performed with its own set of protocols, and they are governed by their respective Science Centers.

The surveys are used to annually index commercially and recreationally harvested species to set allocation and bycatch limits on harvested and endangered fish species. The NWFSC conducts these surveys on chartered commercial fishing vessels. The NWFSC has numerous types of nets, as well as numerous numbers of each type of net in its inventory. Some nets are extremely large and contain upwards of a million meshes. These nets and associated rigging and hardware need to be maintained through a very dynamic and rigorous field season. The NWFSC does not have staff or facilities to satisfactorily accommodate the maintenance of this GFE (gear and equipment) and must contract with a local net repair “loft” (i.e., a manufacturing and repair facility especially concerned with trawl nets, seine nets, gill nets, long line gear, rigging, and hardware). Construction consistency between sampling trawls of the same type is paramount to the survey mission. NWFSC current sampling trawls have been constructed and need to be inspected, repaired, maintained, and then certified by a trained technical representative from each specific Science Center (i.e., reviewed by the appropriate survey team) prior to acceptance of the completed repairs. The NWFSC is required to adhere to extremely strict national trawl standardization requirements (NOAA Protocols for Groundfish Bottom Trawl Surveys of the Nation’s Fishery Resources, Stauffer, Gary, NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-SPO-65, October 2004). NOAA requires a contractor that has experience with national requirements and sampling trawls, so as to provide NWFSC with the appropriate equipment in a timely fashion. Due to National Trawl Standardization Rules, all nets are required to be “certified” prior to deployment. This includes measuring all rigging and framing lines in the trawl. Measuring all seizings, benzels, lacings, and floats. It also includes counting every panel and a check of every mesh in each sampling net. We estimate that 4 to 6 net loft man-hours per net will be required in the certification of each trawl after it has been repaired. All discrepancies from the net diagrams/net descriptions shall be fixed before the net can be recertified.

Scope of Work This procurement is for materials and services. It involves maintenance for needed repairs, modifications, and transport of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). Contractor Facilities, Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE), and Contractor Furnished Materials (CFM) shall be utilized to accomplish work. The NWFSC requires net mending expertise, consultation, and trawl net certifications by a net fabricator, as well as potential emergency transport capability. This will be defined as trawl net support services. The Northwest Fisheries Science Center shall provide the Contracted Vendor with detailed specifications of net gear and or fishing gear to be modified, repaired, certified, shipped, or inspected, as well as required materials to make those modifications and repairs.

CONTRACTOR'S 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)). All invoices are to be submitted in arrears per 31 U.S.C. § 3324.

Advance payments are prohibited by 31 U.S.C. § 3324, which provides that, except as provided by a specific appropriation or other law, “a payment under a contract to provide a service or deliver an article for the United States Government may not be more than the value of the service already provided or the article already delivered.” The primary purpose of 31 U.S.C. § 3324 is to protect the Government against the risk of nonperformance (or refusal to refund moneys) by the contractor after receipt of payment. See 22 Comp. Gen. 834, 835 (1946). In its simplest terms, the statute prohibits the mailto:victor.simon@noaa.gov mailto:sarah.kurochkin@noaa.gov mailto:victor.simon@noaa.gov https://www.ipp.gov/

Government from paying for goods before they have been received or for services before they have been rendered.

The Contractor must include the following documents as attachments to payment requests submitted through the IPP: Vendor’s Invoice.

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)
