The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a definitive contract to Ropeless Systems, Inc. valued at $5.75 million to provide buoyless/ropeless fishing systems. The contract has a partial small business set aside and runs from July 2022 through June 2027.
NOAA issued a special notice to increase the value of an existing contract with Edgeone LLC to provide additional systems for operational testing and familiarization by fishermen. The systems aim to aid in developing new fishing restrictions to protect whales as mandated. The sole source justification cited Edgeone as the only vendor able to supply compatible equipment already tested and owned by NOAA.
