The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Acquisition and Grants Office, on behalf of the National Ocean Service Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Point Blue Conservation Science for at-sea observation services. This project involves the observation of marine mammals and seabirds at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, specifically focusing on the Davidson Seamount. The requirement is classified under NAICS 541690 Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services and PSC B516 SPECIAL STUDIES/ANALYSIS- ANIMAL/FISHERIES.
The government intends to negotiate with Point Blue Conservation Science because the vendor maintains the historical data necessary to perform required longitudinal comparisons and synthesize previous expedition results with new findings. The scope of work includes using established marine mammal and seabird observation methods to produce analytical products that align with data previously collected for the Cordell Bank and Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuaries. The period of performance is scheduled from the date of award through January 31, 2027, with the primary place of performance in San Francisco, California.
