About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $17,545.41 to Black Bull Group Inc. for port agent services supporting the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer during an in-port stay in Palau from October 8-16, 2025. The contract, which was awarded on October 1, 2025, encompasses guaranteed pier space and associated maritime husbanding services including line handling, sewage offload, potable water supply, garbage disposal, ground transportation, mail services, and freight handling. The procurement was conducted as an unrestricted, full and open competition under Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 12.6 for commercial items, with no set-aside designation applied.
The contract was subsequently modified to deobligate remaining funds and close out the award due to a government shutdown that mandated the vessel's mandatory return to homeport, resulting in the early termination of services. Black Bull Group Inc., a Vienna, Virginia-based maritime logistics provider, maintains extensive experience delivering port operations and vessel support services globally, with a significant presence on the Department of the Navy's $2.122 billion Global Husbanding Support Services IDIQ contract through 2030. The company has previously supported NOAA operations, including a substantial $76.7 million port agent services delivery order for the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, demonstrating established expertise in supporting the agency's oceanographic research missions.
