About this award
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, awarded a $12.79 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) for administration of At-Sea Monitoring (ASM) Fishery Observer Support Services. The contract, which runs through September 28, 2025, supports critical fishery monitoring operations in the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions, with performance taking place in East Falmouth, Massachusetts. ASMFC will manage invoice tracking, payment reimbursements, and reporting of monthly invoiced amounts from eligible sectors and states, focusing on monitoring catch composition and commercial harvests of groundfish and herring. This is a sole-source contract modification pursued under Federal Acquisition Regulations FAR 6.302-5, with no set-aside designation applied.
ASMFC has served as the primary provider of these ASM administrative services since 2016, transitioning from grant-funded operations to direct contracting beginning in 2020. The interstate compact organization, which coordinates marine fisheries management and conservation along the Atlantic coast, brings significant expertise in fishery observer deployment and marine resource data collection across multiple federal agencies. The contract modification represents a continuation of services essential to NOAA's fisheries stock assessments and marine resource management initiatives in the Northeast region, building on ASMFC's established track record of delivering sophisticated monitoring and administrative support for federal fisheries programs.
