photogrammetry, topography, remote
sensing, geophysical (gravity,
seismological, geomagnetic)
measurements, tide and current
observations, and data processing.
Although this policy is limited to
NOAA’s hydrographic services, it is
NOAA’s intent to advance contracting
and adhere to the principles of this
policy to meet all of its geospatial,
surveying and mapping requirements.
NOAA will procure hydrographic
data and services from qualified sources
in accordance with its legal authorities,
the Federal Acquisition Regulations
(FAR) and the Federal Property and
Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40
U.S.C. 541 et seq.), including Title IX
where appropriate. Commonly known
as the ‘‘Brooks Act’’ for Architect/
Engineering (A/E) contracts, Title IX is
a contract mechanism for use in
situations where the professional nature
of the services to be procured requires
that potential contractors have
specialized technical expertise.
NOAA may determine that a
particular surveying or mapping activity
is inherently governmental. NOAA
surveying and mapping activities
considered inherently governmental in
nature may include services necessary
to: (1) Monitor the quality of NOAA
products; (2) promulgate and promote
national and international technical
standards and specifications; (3)
conduct basic research and
development and ensure the rapid
transfer to the private sector of the
derived technology; (4) maintain the
Federal geodetic and navigational
databases necessary to support safe and
efficient marine operations; (5) support
coastal stewardship ecosystem
applications; and (6) support Maritime
Domain Awareness and Homeland
Security preparation and response
activities. To carry out the above
activities, and to adequately monitor
contracted services, NOAA will
maintain a core capability of field and
office expertise.
NOAA may task qualified commercial
sources with surveying and mapping
services in any part of the U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone for any
NOAA mission-related purpose,
irrespective of pre-defined priority
categories such as those documented in
the NOAA Hydrographic Surveying
Priorities. The government’s interests
and responsibilities for surveying and
mapping vary broadly, and experience
has shown that maintaining flexibility is
key to responding to the nation’s
changing needs for updated surveying
and mapping data.

Ancillary Statements and Actions
As recommended by the Panel, NOAA
will continue to utilize a mix of inhouse and private-sector resources to
accomplish its hydrographic services
missions. Costs and productivity will be
closely monitored within each category
(i.e., public and private) to ensure best
use of hydrographic services resources.
NOAA will also seek to determine the
optimal resource allocation between inhouse and private-sector resources
based on the strength of the
governmental interest, the total
requirement for mapping and charting
services, and the particular operational
capabilities of either government or
private-sector resources that may make
one more suitable.
NOAA will continue to examine ways
to improve its contracting process, such
as methods for minimizing the turnover
frequency of contracting personnel and
for reducing the length of time required
to award contracts and task orders.
NOAA will maintain its offer of
debriefings to successful and
unsuccessful hydrographic services
contractors after final selection has
taken place. The purpose of these
debriefings is to assist contractors with
identifying significant weaknesses or
deficiencies in their submissions.
NOAA is also exploring the
establishment of an Ocean and Coastal
Mapping Training Center. The Training
Center was initially conceived as a
curriculum to support NOAA’s in-house
hydrographic surveying training
requirements. But NOAA now
recognizes value in broadening the
Center’s scope to include training for
NOAA and private sector contractors in
techniques, standards, and technologies
that support NOAA’s many shoreline,
coastal and ocean mapping activities.
This concept builds on NOAA’s annual
Hydrographic Training and Field
Procedures Workshops currently held
for NOAA personnel and its
hydrographic services contractors to
train and trade valuable lessons learned
from surveying experience. Such
training would be beneficial to current
or prospective NOAA contractors
seeking to strengthen their proposal
submissions.

Service Contracting Policy; the Brooks
Act, Public Law 92–582 or the 1998 and

Improvement Acts (which authorize
