About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $723,441.91 firm fixed-price definitive contract to California Wetfish Producers Association on June 7, 2023, for vessel charter services to conduct the California Current Ecosystem Survey nearshore sampling operations. This award exercises Option Period III under CLINs 3001 and 3002 and incorporates updated wage determinations. The contract, managed by NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center, requires the contractor to deploy purse seine fishing vessels equipped with SIMRAD EK60 echosounder systems to collect acoustic-trawl-method survey data and net-catch samples from coastal pelagic fish species. The work is performed in La Jolla, California, with the ultimate completion date of May 31, 2028, and was awarded without set-aside designation.
The survey work aligns with NOAA's fisheries science mission to monitor and assess the health and abundance of commercial fish stocks in the California Current Ecosystem. California Wetfish Producers Association brings relevant operational experience in this domain through its prior work executing similar vessel charter contracts for NOAA to collect nearshore echosounder and net-catch data along designated transect lines between Bodega Bay and the U.S.-Mexico border. The data collected under this contract supports critical research into coastal pelagic species demographics and biomass estimates, which inform fishery management decisions and stock assessments for species such as Pacific sardine.
