AI Contract Overview

The contract involves a sole source negotiation with the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility (CSSF) to provide the Remotely Operated Platform for Ocean Science (ROPOS) submersible for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). The primary objective is to use the submersible to place seafloor samples at the undersea observatory located at Axial Volcano, approximately 270 miles west of Oregon. The operation is set to take place over four dive days plus one standby day within the period from August 27 to September 8, 2003. Additionally, NOAA will cover 50% of the costs related to cranes, personnel, and other ancillary services necessary to mobilize and demobilize the submersible system aboard the research vessel Thomas G. Thompson. This contract represents a simplified acquisition valued at under $100,000 and highlights collaboration with Canadian scientists supported by the Canadian National Science and Engineering Council. The submersible ROPOS will thus facilitate important marine environmental research in coordination with international partners. Queries regarding this procurement are directed to Randall Brown at NOAA in Seattle.
