M--Moorage - Port Call Suva Fiji
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for port and harbor operational support services in Fiji for the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. The services are required for an anticipated port call from September 16, 2026, to September 23, 2026, though the schedule is subject to change. The required services include acting as a port agent, securing pier space, arranging pilots and line handlers, providing utilities, cell phones, ground transportation, forklift services, food procurement, and customs support. Quotes must be itemized and will be evaluated based on a best-value trade-off, with the non-price technical solution being significantly more important than price. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and provide detailed technical approaches, past performance references, and proof of liability insurance.
