FD26-285 NMFS request for vessel charter for Coral

NOAA’s National Coral Reef Monitoring Program is issuing a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ 1333MF26Q0023) for a U.S.‑coast‑guard‑licensed vessel to conduct dive‑survey cruises near the Dry Tortugas, Florida. Offerors must submit two separate electronic packages by the deadline: a Technical Quote (maximum 20 pages, price‑free, clearly marked) that details the technical approach, staffing, subcontractor management, and any exceptions or deviations; and a Business/Price Quote (no page limit) that provides a firm‑fixed‑price, best‑value trade‑off offer for the basic requirement and any options, with payment terms of Net 30. Submissions are to be emailed to amy.gilliland@noaa.gov, with the email subject referencing the SAM.GOV Notice ID 1333MF26Q0023, and must be accompanied by an active SAM registration. Evaluation will be based on Technical Approach (understanding of the Statement of Work and capability to meet requirements), Experience (background, qualifications, and past performance of the offeror and proposed personnel), and Cost/Price (realistic, complete, and reasonable pricing compatible with the technical solution). The contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose combined technical and price proposal provides the most advantageous solution. All operators must hold the appropriate U.S. Coast Guard vessel license, and payment requests must be submitted electronically through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) in accordance with the applicable FAR payment clauses.
