B -- IDENTIFICATION OF PRIORITY CORAL REEF AREAS IN PUERTO RICO

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) Central Administrative Support Center (CASC), issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the Identification of Priority Coral Reef Areas in Puerto Rico. However, this solicitation, originally posted on September 14, 2004, has been officially cancelled. The contract was associated with the Department of Commerce and based out of Norfolk, Virginia. The opportunity was intended to support NOAA’s efforts related to coral reef conservation but no further actions or procurements will proceed under this solicitation. The cancellation means that the acquisition process for identifying priority coral reef areas in Puerto Rico will not move forward as planned. The contract specialist managing the opportunity was Jeanie M. Jennings, who could be contacted for additional inquiries. No specific NAICS code, set-aside type, or detailed place of performance information was provided. This cancellation indicates a halt in NOAA’s procurement for this particular environmental initiative at the time.
