West Coast Groundfish Bottom Trawl Survey

NOAA’s solicitation 1305M326Q0088 (RFQ) seeks two firm‑fixed‑price contracts for a chartered vessel and crew to conduct the West Coast Groundfish Bottom Trawl Survey “Second Pass” along the U.S. West Coast—one vessel per award, with the option to award both contracts to a single offeror who submits separate quotes for each vessel. The award is a 100 % small‑business set‑aside (size standard ≤ 500 employees) and requires a mandatory subcontracting plan that includes a distinct AbilityOne goal, reported in the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) under Large Business, and coordinated with AbilityOne via email (solicitation number, scope, work set‑aside, estimated value, and prime POC). Offerors must submit two independent parts: a technical quote (max 60 pages, double‑spaced, Times New Roman 11, with Vessel Characteristics Questionnaire and Configuration Form, plus up to 20 pages of pictures and a 10‑minute video) and an unrestricted business/price quote, both electronic. All payment requests must be filed through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). Compliance with NOAA’s Sexual Assault and Harassment Prevention Policy for vessel crew, and adherence to the schedule of deliverables in the price schedule, are required. Non‑responsive proposals will be rejected, and the Government reserves the right to award no contract.
