The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $149,900 firm fixed-price purchase order to HJR Reefscaping, a minority-owned sole proprietorship based in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, on September 14, 2024. Under this contract, which runs through December 31, 2025, the contractor will provide commercial fishing vessels, captains, and trained observers to support the Puerto Rico Deepwater Reef Fish Survey.

This contract was awarded as a sole source to HJR Reefscaping based on the contractor's established expertise and existing relationships with the Puerto Rico commercial fishing industry, with no small business set-aside designation applied. HJR Reefscaping, operated by Hector J. Ruiz Torres, specializes in marine ecosystem research and fisheries monitoring services and has established a strong track record with NOAA, having received nine prior prime contract awards totaling approximately $1.38 million. The work performed under this purchase order directly supports NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service mission to collect critical stock assessment data necessary for informed fisheries management and conservation decisions. The contractor's deep operational knowledge of deepwater sampling protocols, established relationships with local fishing fleets, and prior successful execution of similar surveys in Puerto Rico made it the preferred vendor to continue this research initiative.
