The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a civilian agency within the Department of Commerce, awarded a single-award, indefinite delivery contract to A.i.s., Inc. (doing business as Atlantic Inspection Services) to provide observer support services for the NOAA Fisheries Northeast Fisheries Science Center Observer Program (NEFOP). The total contract ceiling value is $47,707,027, with a period of performance through June 2025. As part of this IDC, NOAA has issued multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders to A.i.s., Inc. totaling over $28 million to date, for deploying observers and coordinating data management to support NOAA's collection of fishery-dependent data to inform stock assessments and sustainable management of marine resources. The contracted services do not have a small business set-aside. A.i.s., Inc. is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that specializes in monitoring oceans, coastal communities, and global fisheries, and has received numerous prior NOAA Fisheries contracts and grants for observer services and other technical support. In addition to the Northeast Fisheries Science Center work, A.i.s., Inc. holds a separate $39 million single-award IDC with NOAA Fisheries' Southeast Fisheries Science Center to provide similar observer support services in the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Atlantic through late 2024. Through these contracts, NOAA is able to continuously collect critical fishery data to support stock assessments and sustainable management of the nation's marine resources.
