The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Mooring Systems Inc. for the Pacific Marine Environmental Lab (PMEL).

The contract was posted in early February 2002 and is managed through the Department of Commerce’s Seattle office.
