The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $109,440 firm fixed-price purchase order to Northwest Marine Technology, Inc. for decimal coded wire fish tags used in coho salmon hatchery operations. The contract, awarded July 1, 2021, carries an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2026, and includes a deobligation of unused funds from Option Year 3. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. The work will be performed in Geyserville, California, where the specialized fish tagging products will support federal fisheries research and monitoring initiatives.
Northwest Marine Technology, a small disadvantaged business based in Anacortes, Washington, serves as the primary federal supplier of proprietary fish tagging technologies and is the sole manufacturer of the coded wire tags and related marking systems essential to aquatic resource management across multiple federal agencies. Beyond this purchase order, the company maintains substantial indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts valued at approximately $22.5 million collectively with the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Reclamation through 2028, under which it delivers fish mass marking tags, automated tagging equipment, and specialized maintenance services to support fisheries research programs nationwide.
