WORKSHOP MEETING SUPPORT SERVICES

<p>THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION&rsquo;S (NOAA) SOUTHWEST FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER, INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE AND AWARD A PURCHASE ORDER, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 6.103-1, WITH HUBBS-SEA WORLD RESEARCH INSTITUTE (HSWRI) TO PROVIDE WORKSHOP MEETING SUPPORT SERVICES TO BE DELIVERED/PERFORMED AT THE HSWRI FACILITY. NO SET ASIDE IS TO BE USED FOR THIS SOLE SOURCE REQUIREMENT. THE ASSOCIATED NAICS CODE IS 531120.</p>

<p>THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON NOAA&rsquo;S REQUIREMENT THAT HUBBS-SEA WORLD RESEARCH INSTITUTE IS THE ONLY VENDOR THAT CAPABLE OF FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENT TO HOST THE SERIOLA WORKSHOP.</p>

<p class="sam-rich-text-editor-indent-d">The SWFSC is planning to host the 5th <em>Seriola </em>Workshop. For a workshop focused on <em>Seriola </em>aquaculture, the success of this workshop requires a hands-on environment where attendees can tour a fully operational, large-scale aquaculture facility. Throughout the days of the workshop program, the goal is to share successful methods, compare day-to-day operations, and view specialized infrastructure in person. Without direct access to a functional, collaborative facility, a significant portion of the educational value of this workshop would be entirely lost.</p>

<p class="sam-rich-text-editor-indent-d"><u><em>For details reference the attached Justificaion for Other Than Full and Open competition.</em></u></p>

<p><strong>PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: DATE OF AWARD TO &nbsp;2/8/2027. </strong></p>

<p>***THIS PRESOLICITATION NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT&#39;S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION OR A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 10 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE. SUCH REQUESTS AND DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.***</p>
