About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $1.75M firm fixed-price definitive contract to Desert Star Systems LLC, a small disadvantaged business located in Marina, California, for the development and delivery of buoyless/ropeless fishing systems. Under this partial small business set-aside contract, Desert Star Systems will provide deck controller systems with acoustic release functionality and underwater acoustic release systems designed to enable remote operation of fishing pots and traps from depths of 4 to 200 feet. These systems are intended for commercial fishermen in the Northeast United States to test and deploy, with the ultimate goal of reducing risks to endangered North Atlantic right whales. The contract, awarded on July 1, 2022, has a completion date of June 30, 2027, and employs firm fixed-price pricing with actual shipping costs to be determined at the time of order based on tiered pricing and specific configurations.
Desert Star Systems specializes in marine technology and underwater acoustic systems, with a demonstrated track record of delivering advanced marine conservation solutions for federal agencies. The contract represents one phase of NOAA's broader effort to develop and validate innovative ropeless fishing technologies that balance conservation objectives with commercial fishing operations. As a prime contractor, Desert Star Systems will be responsible for delivering all system components, manuals, and design details, with the contract structure including one or more optional one-year extension periods. The ceiling value of $1.75M reflects the maximum potential based on program needs and available funding, positioning this award as a significant investment in sustainable fishing technology development.
