## Description

This is not a solicitation. This is not a Request for Quote (RFQ), Invitation for Bid (IFB), Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Application (RFA) or announcement of a solicitation, and does not assume the Government will award a contract or proceed with any of the above solicitation efforts in the near future. This request is for information purposed only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued or awarded.

No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect cost or charges by the Government will arise as a result of the submission of information. All information considered proprietary shall be marked accordingly. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for improperly identified proprietary information. Properly identified proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with federal regulations.

The purpose of this announcement is solely to gather information from the marketplace, and any responses received will be used to inform potential acquisition strategies and to support a determination about whether or not to set-aside the acquisition. Any responses received will neither be considered an offer by the responding party nor returned to the responding party. No telephone inquiries will be accepted, and requests for solicitation packages will not be honored at this time since no solicitation has been prepared.

**PROJECT SUMMARY:** The Office of Science and Technology (OST) advocate and ensure sound scientific basis for NOAA Fisheries science programs and resource conservation and management decisions. OST closely coordinate with six (6) NOAA Fisheries science centers: Alaska, Northeast, Northwest, Pacific Islands, Southeast, and Southwest.

The OST has a need for renewing the Atlassian software that requires support and has been licensed, installed, and utilized by NOAA for multiple years with dozens of projects and thousands of issues generated. Having uninterrupted access to this software suite will allow for continuity in managing projects, submitting, and tracking project issues for OST. The current Jira instance is a server-based license, hosted in the NOAA OCIO AWS cloud space.

The Atlassian Suite is used by 10 FMCs across NOAA Fisheries for a wide variety of business processes, including application development, release management, helpdesk services, procurement tracking, personnel tracking, and enterprise data management. A draft Statement of Need (SON) is provided for informational purposes only.

**INFORMATION REQUESTED:** NOAA may utilize the responses to this Sources Sought to conduct additional market research. Information obtained from this Sources Sought, and the subsequent communication with the vendors, if any, may be utilized to assist NOAA in developing a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quote (RFQ). Please include the following:

Name and address of firm Point of contact – address and phone number Size of business (e.g. small, 8(a) program, small disadvantaged business, woman owned, etc.) Experiences that are applicable to the scope of the SON. Indicate whether your company is likely to offer, should a solicitation arise from this market research.

**SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS:** Telephone responses are NOT solicited and will not be accepted. No solicitation exists at this time. This synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to award a contract, nor will the Government pay for the solicited information. Please submit your response to the attention of the Contract Specialist, Ms. Anna Ma (anna.ma@noaa.gov) no later than March 14, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
