NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service; Alaska Fisheries Science Center, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1); with J.H. Technologies (an authorized Leica distributor), for the procurement of three (3) Leica Microsystems M80 microscope systems and peripherals. Researchers with AFSC-s Resource Ecology and Fisheries Management Division utilize stereo microscopes for inspection of fish tissues for determining age classes and changes to growth and development of fish species as a result of environmental changes. The division currently uses Leica M80 stereo microscope systems and Leica LAS imaging software to accurately capture and store finely-detailed images of specimens.
Sole Source Justification

The research will compare fish specimens from several animals captured in various areas of the Bering and Chukchi seas. Differences noted will be documented along with recordable marine environment conditions of the time to facilitate research looking at marine organism development in changing conditions. Researchers need resolution as high as 3072x2048 when imaging structures like fish Otoliths.
