About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a firm fixed-price contract valued at $5.75M to Ropeless Systems, Inc., a veteran-owned manufacturer specializing in innovative fishing gear solutions. Under this definitive contract with a partial small business set-aside, Ropeless Systems will supply buoyless/ropeless fishing systems to support commercial pot and trap fishermen in the Northeast United States. The systems include deck controller units with acoustic release functionality capable of remote operation from depths of 4 to 200 feet, as well as underwater acoustic release mechanisms that eliminate the need for vertical lines in fishing gear. The contract, originally awarded in July 2022, was subsequently modified to correct the period of performance with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2024. Work is being performed in Biddeford, Maine.
These buoyless/ropeless systems are designed to reduce entanglement risks to endangered North Atlantic right whales while maintaining operational efficiency for fishing operations. NOAA's procurement targeted commercial suppliers capable of delivering complete system components, manuals, and design specifications to support the agency's broader mission of protecting marine wildlife while sustaining the fishing industry. The maximum potential order value reflects anticipated program needs and available funding, with actual shipping costs to be determined at the time of individual orders based on tiered pricing and specific equipment configurations. Ropeless Systems' award demonstrates NOAA's confidence in the company's technical capabilities and commitment to developing sustainable fishing technologies through both procurement contracts and collaborative research initiatives.
