About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a delivery order valued at $5.25 million to A.i.s., Inc. (doing business as Atlantic Inspection Services) on December 21, 2024, for observer support services under the Southeast Fisheries Observer Program. This task order, issued under the existing indefinite delivery contract TO 1305M325F0020, is structured as a time and materials contract with incremental funding and carries a total small business set-aside designation. The work will be performed in Galveston, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026. A.i.s., Inc., a small business corporation based in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, specializes in providing comprehensive scientific and technical support for marine resource management and fisheries research, with particular expertise in deploying fishery observers and collecting critical data to support sustainable fisheries management.
This award represents continued engagement with NOAA under a well-established relationship, as A.i.s., Inc. holds multiple significant indefinite delivery contracts with the agency, including a $24.9 million contract for the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program and a $45 million contract for the North Pacific Observer Program. The Southeast Fisheries Observer Program delivery order aligns with NOAA's broader mission to monitor and manage commercial fisheries operations across U.S. waters, ensuring compliance with fisheries regulations and collecting essential data on catch composition, fishing practices, and marine resource sustainability. The time and materials pricing structure reflects the variable nature of observer deployment and support services required to maintain comprehensive monitoring of southeast regional fisheries operations.
