The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a civilian agency within the Department of Commerce, awarded a $1,773,650 firm fixed price contract to Ashored Inc. for the supply of buoyless/ropeless fishing systems. This contract, which runs from August 2024 through August 2029, requires Ashored Inc. to provide up to 20 deck systems and 50 underwater acoustic release systems designed to allow fishermen to retrieve their gear without using traditional vertical lines that can endanger marine mammals like whales. The contract was not set aside for any specific business size. Ashored Inc. is a for-profit organization and manufacturer of innovative marine technology solutions focused on environmental conservation in commercial fishing practices. This contract award builds on Ashored Inc.'s prior NOAA contract work developing and supplying advanced buoyless/ropeless fishing systems to support the agency's research initiatives in this area.
