Update #2 · Latest ·
The Professional and Technical (ProTech) services solution is a suite of multiple-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts consisting of five Domains: Satellite, Ocean, Fisheries, Weather, and Enterprise Operations. These Domains provide resources in support of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to include its Line and Staff Offices. Where applicable, the contracts may also be used by other Bureaus within the Department of Commerce (DOC). The ceiling dollar amount for all orders under all ProTech Domains is $3,000,000,000.
There is one solicitation for each Domain and each solicitation will result in the award of multiple IDIQ contracts for the specific Domain. Here, the resultant IDIQ contracts will provide professional and technical services to the Oceans Domain (hereafter "ProTech Oceans") under NAICS code 541620.
NOAA Oceans mission is to provide science-based solutions through collaborative partnerships with industry to address evolving economic, environmental, and social pressures on our oceans and coasts. NOS has identified three priorities that reflect the primary statutory mission drivers and reflect NOAA's commitment to navigation services, coastal research and observations, emergency response, and place-based conservation programs.
The primary clients of this Domain will be the offices of NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS).
The Acquisition Strategy: Full and Open Competition with reserves for small business in accordance with section 1331 of the U.S. Jobs Act. The assigned NAICS code for determining status as a small business is 541620 with a size standard of $15M.
