About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Acquisitions and Grants Office has issued a Special Notice for the acquisition of Close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR) services for the Oceanic Whitetip Shark, a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. NOAA intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Mote Marine Laboratory for this requirement, which will be procured under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Commercial Item Acquisition methods.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide information on NOAA's intent to award a single source contract to Mote Marine Laboratory for CKMR services to estimate the absolute abundance of the Oceanic Whitetip Shark. The contract period is 2 years from July 2024 to June 2026, with an estimated value of $202,000. NOAA is not issuing a solicitation, but is inviting capability statements from interested parties for future requirements. Respondents must demonstrate technical capability and cost information to clearly meet the requirement, and all correspondence should be submitted via email with the subject line "CKMR Oceanic Whitetip." Mote Marine Laboratory is the only source reasonably available to perform this work due to their access to archived shark samples and their extensive experience in shark genetics and ecology.
