Inactive Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for port and harbor operational support services for the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. The requirement is set aside for total small business participation under NAICS code 488310. The services include a wide range of port agent duties, pier space, pilot arrangements, line handlers, utilities, security, and provisioning. The evaluation will be based on a trade-off between non-price technical factors—specifically technical approach and past performance—and price, with non-price factors being significantly more important. The start date is an estimate and subject to funding approval, which may lead to a shortened base period or a request for an updated quote.
