About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a firm-fixed price contract valued at $652,388 to the University of Delaware for vessel charter services to conduct an integrated sea scallop and stereo-optic research survey. The contract, awarded on September 12, 2022, with ultimate completion on March 31, 2025, supports marine resource assessment activities along the U.S. East Coast continental shelf from Virginia to Massachusetts. The University of Delaware, a comprehensive research institution with extensive federal contracting experience, will provide a research vessel capable of deploying both a scallop dredge and stereo-optic towed vehicle to collect critical fishery and oceanographic data. The contract was awarded with no set-aside designation through competitive solicitation based on technical capability, fishing experience, and past performance criteria.
This award represents NOAA's investment in fisheries science infrastructure to support sustainable sea scallop management and marine resource monitoring. The University of Delaware's role as the charter vessel operator reflects its established capabilities in supporting federal research initiatives and its position as a land-grant research institution with significant experience across multiple federal agencies. The performance location is Lewes, Delaware, with the vessel staging and de-staging operations conducted from Woods Hole, Massachusetts. NOAA's fisheries research programs leverage such vessel charter contracts to gather essential biological and oceanographic data that inform resource management decisions and support the agency's conservation and sustainable fisheries objectives.
