The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 541611 Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. The small business size standard for this NAICS code is $24.5 Million. 2.0 Background and Objective National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (Fisheries), is responsible for the management, conservation and protection of living marine resources within the United States' Exclusive Economic Zone (waters 3 to 200 miles offshore). Fisheries assesses and predicts the status of fish stocks, ensures compliance with fisheries regulations, works to reduce wasteful fishing practices, and recovers protected marine species (i.e. whales, turtles) without unnecessarily impeding economic and recreational opportunities. Research/science operations and regulatory/policy activities, conducted principally within the six science centers and their laboratories and field stations along with five regional offices, allow Fisheries to work with communities on fishery management issues. To accomplish its mission, Fisheries has established over 163 facility site locations encompassing approximately 1,851,547 square feet supporting a variety of activities and operations conducted by Fisheries personnel across the United States and its territories. Fisheries' mission execution is dependent on a collection of often unique facilities and structures, including labs, live animal housing, warehouses, machine shops, administrative spaces, and boat pier/storage. Fisheries' geographic footprint is broad and diverse ranging from large multifunctional laboratories to small site-specific structures in remote locales. Additionally, the Fisheries facility portfolio is the oldest in NOAA with many of the structures dating as far back as the 1930s. Fisheries manages its facility portfolio through a decentralized network of Funds Management Centers (FMCs), principally the 11 Regional Offices and Science Centers. Fisheries Headquarters provides general guidance and support and is the principal liaison with NOAA Chief Administrative Officer. FMC's are responsible for day-to-day Operations and Maintenance (O&M), repairs, compliance, budgeting, space planning, and requirements development. This model has led to a diverse set of management practices and inconsistent facilities data within the Fisheries facility portfolio. The purpose of this procurement is to obtain the services of a contractor with capabilities in Federal real property portfolio, data management, and maintenance management (both preventive and corrective). The contractor will be tasked with assisting Fisheries in the management, maintenance and transformation of its real property data and energy management reporting. Improved data management will provide insights that enable better decisions and facility management actions. 3.0 Key Elements In order to promote the most efficient use of NMFS funds towards meeting the mission and program goals of the OMB, NMFS requires a contractor that can provide services to help analyze and achieve these program goals.
