About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service West Coast Region has awarded a delivery order valued at $748,595 to Ocean Associates Inc. (OAI Consulting), a woman-owned small business headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. This firm fixed-price contract, designated as a Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside and performance-based through August 31, 2030, will be performed in Seattle, Washington. The work involves coordination services for Take Reduction Teams, which are multi-stakeholder groups that develop and implement measures to reduce incidental catches of marine mammals in commercial fishing operations. OAI Consulting brings extensive expertise in marine mammal conservation and fisheries management, having previously supported NOAA's scientific research initiatives, including work on whale entanglement reduction in commercial fishing gear through advanced modeling and at-sea testing.
This delivery order is issued under the ProTech 2.0 Fisheries Domain Indefinite Delivery Contract, an $8 billion multiple-award vehicle set aside for small businesses through September 2029 that serves as the parent contract for NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service and fisheries science center task orders. OAI Consulting maintains a robust portfolio of federal contracts with NOAA totaling well over $100 million in recent awards across multiple NOAA offices and science centers. The company's extensive experience with Take Reduction Team coordination, combined with its certified women-owned small business status and proven track record supporting NOAA's marine resource management and protected species missions, positions it as a strategic partner for the agency's fisheries conservation and compliance objectives on the West Coast.
