    Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Offshore Systems

    The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Offshore Systems Inc. for the procurement of Husbanding and Berthing Services. These services include line handling, potable water utilities, moorage, trash disposal services, and forklift service with operator.

    Offshore Systems Inc., located in Kirkland, WA, is the only port that can accommodate NOAA's vessels operating out of major ports for scientific research missions with complex logistical support needs. The sole source determination is based on the need for a singular berth that provides consistent and stable moorage, as well as the capability to shift to alternative berths or locations during a particular period of port.

    During the berthing period, there is a significant amount of scientific equipment that needs to be moved on and off the ship. Offshore Systems Inc. has the necessary delivery capability, cranes, loaders, and storage capacity on site to accommodate this requirement. Utilizing their services also avoids the need for individual arrangements for various support services, which can be complex and costly given the nature of the mission equipment and the remoteness of the locale.

    This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes, and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide equipment or services that fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. The Government will evaluate such documentation solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.

    All responsible sources may submit a Capability Statement in accordance with this notice, which will be considered by the agency if received on or before 1600 PM PDT on March 23, 2024. The Capability Statement must contain sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the requirements. Incomplete statements will not be considered.

    Please note that this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, and oral communications or phone calls will not be accepted in response to this notice.
