AI Contract Overview

The contract involves a sole source negotiation with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to perform calibration of multibeam sonar equipment used by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). This calibration is critical for accurate quantitative measurements of fish biomass in acoustic surveys and is necessary to comply with established survey protocols and quality assurance standards. WHOI is uniquely qualified and equipped through its Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department to conduct these calibrations, ensuring continuity and consistency with data collected in previous years. The contract is a simplified acquisition with an estimated value of less than $100,000. To be eligible for award under this acquisition, contractors must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) by October 1, 2003, and have a Dun & Bradstreet number. This registration requirement aims to streamline vendor eligibility and ensure compliance before awards can be granted. The contracting office is part of the Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) based in Seattle, Washington. The contract emphasizes maintaining data integrity across survey periods and continuing a trusted relationship with WHOI to support NMFS’s fisheries research and management goals.
