About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $758,587.24 firm fixed-price delivery order to Agencias Universales S.A. (Agunsa), a Chilean logistics and agency services provider, for Antarctic logistical support services. This delivery order, awarded on September 13, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of September 12, 2025, represents the first task order issued under a larger indefinite delivery contract valued at $7 million that extends through September 9, 2029. The work will be performed in Chile, specifically from Agunsa's operational base in Punta Arenas, and includes transportation, facilities maintenance, and comprehensive operational support designed to enable NOAA's scientific research programs and field operations in Antarctica.
This award represents a continuation of Agunsa's established role as NOAA's primary provider of shore-based port and logistical services for Antarctic research expeditions. The contractor brings substantial regional expertise and infrastructure essential for supporting vessel-based surveys and field camp operations conducted by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service and broader polar research initiatives. No set-aside designation was applied to this contract. Agunsa's contract history with NOAA demonstrates consistent delivery of specialized Antarctic support services across multiple field seasons, with previous delivery orders ranging from approximately $122,000 to $839,600, confirming the contractor's capacity to execute the current award and manage the active pipeline of subsequent task orders under the broader indefinite delivery vehicle.
