About this archived opportunity

PRESOLICITATION NOTICE The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate and award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 and RFO FAR 12.102(a), a firm fixed price purchase order to Fondriest Enviornmental, Inc., for the purchase of multiple spare and replacement parts used to support the operations of the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy system (CBIBS). This contract is expected to have a period of performance of 30 days after the award date. Buoys deployed in the harsh environment of the Chesapeake Bay are prone to failure.

A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a sole source procurement. Capabilities statements are due no later than Saturday, July 11, 2026, by 1300 Eastern Time.
