The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Acquisition and Grants Office intends to negotiate a single-source contract with the Southern California Marine Institute for specialized marine facility access and support services in San Pedro, California. This requirement involves a non-severable combination of small boat storage, a dive locker facility, equipment storage, and laboratory facilities, as well as membership and site access. The government’s operational needs for the National Marine Fisheries Service West Coast Region require the simultaneous availability of secure maritime storage and technical spaces at a single location, and the Southern California Marine Institute is identified as the only provider in the San Pedro or Long Beach area capable of offering these consolidated services.
The anticipated period of performance begins with a base year running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, followed by four one-year option periods extending through June 30, 2031. This procurement is classified under NAICS 488310 for Port and Harbor Operations and PSC V126 for Transportation/Travel/Relocation- Transportation: Space Transportation/Launch. There is no set-aside associated with this action, designated as solicitation number FD-2026-291.
This special notice serves as an intent to award a single-source contract and does not constitute a request for competitive proposals. Firms that believe they can meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation by May 13, 2026, which the agency will evaluate to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted. Administrative details and technical specifications are provided in two attachments, including a Statement of Work and a single-source determination document. Heather Mahle is the primary point of contact for this notice.
