About this IDV
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $24.9 million to A.i.s., Inc. (doing business as Atlantic Inspection Services) on April 1, 2026, for the Southeast Fisheries Observer Programs and Platform Removal Observer Program. This Total Small Business set-aside contract extends through March 24, 2031, and is administered by the Contracting Officer located at the NOAA Fisheries office in Seattle, Washington. The primary scope involves recruiting, training, managing, and deploying scientific fishery observers on commercial fishing vessels operating in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean regions to collect critical environmental, biological, and fisheries data. Observers will monitor fishing operations, record catch and discard information, document interactions with protected marine species, and maintain compliance with federal fisheries regulations and Service Contract Act wage requirements.
The contract structure includes two primary compensation line items: CLIN 0001 for Sea Day Observer Support Services on a firm-fixed-price basis and CLIN 0002 for Travel Expenses on a time-and-materials basis. Historical data from 2022-2024 indicates an average of 3,276 total sea days annually across the covered fisheries, establishing the baseline for task order issuance. The contractor is responsible for initial observer training costs, while NOAA provides base training through a mandatory three-week government training course. Qualified observers must possess a bachelor's degree in natural sciences, appropriate safety certifications, and demonstrated conflict of interest compliance. The place of performance is designated as Massachusetts, with A.i.s., Inc. leveraging its established expertise in fishery observer support services and marine resource management to support NOAA's sustainable fisheries management mission across southeastern regional programs.
