Loogbook Data Entry, Document Scanning, and Data Verification

The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) and the Eastern Region Acquisition Division-Kansas City, MO (ERAD), intend to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for single page document scanning, data entry, and data verification for up to five current logbook forms with a one-week return time for their five ongoing logbook programs. Background: The SEFSC Logbook Department will send batches of forms from up to five logbook programs on a weekly basis. The volume of form to be key-entered per batch will vary by program/form type and because of changes in the number of fishing trips, seasonal openings, weather, etc. It is expected that the volume per batch will range from 300 forms and 1200 forms per week. The number keystrokes per form is also highly variable depending on the number of different species of fish that are caught, the number of gear, and the number of fishing areas. Depending on the type of form, the number of keystrokes per form can vary from 20 to 200. The logbook forms are pre-printed questionnaires which are answered by permit holders who are required to submit one or more form after each fishing trip. Completed forms are considered Confidential Data and a non-disclosure agreement between SEFSC and the vendor will be required. - Coastal Fisheries Logbook Reports - No-Fishing Reports - Discard Reporting forms - Atlantic Migratory Species Set forms for the Pelagic Longline program - Dealer Reporting forms for the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Dealer program The contractor shall provide a separate bid each of the five programs based on the approximate number of forms estimated to be processed per month per program.
