Indefinite Delivery Contract 1305M418DNFFK0007

Saltwater Inc., a woman-owned small business, has been awarded a $3 billion indefinite delivery contract by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a civilian agency within the Department of Commerce. The NOAA ProTech Services Solution (PROTECH) IDIQ contract enables Saltwater to provide a range of professional, scientific, and technical services to support NOAA's fisheries management, marine conservation, and oceanic research missions through 2024. Under this IDIQ contract and subsequent task orders, Saltwater will deliver services such as fishery monitoring, stock assessments, electronic monitoring, data analysis, program management, and regulatory analysis across NOAA's program areas. The company has been awarded multiple delivery orders for work in locations including Seattle, Honolulu, Long Beach, and Anchorage, with ceiling values ranging from tens of thousands to over $9 million. Many of these task orders have been set aside for small businesses or woman-owned small businesses, indicating NOAA's efforts to provide contracting opportunities to those categories of firms.

Saltwater's work under the PROTECH IDIQ leverages the company's expertise in fisheries research, data collection, and environmental monitoring to support NOAA's scientific and regulatory requirements. The contracted services cover a wide spectrum of the agency's mission, from Atlantic herring fishery electronic monitoring to passive acoustic studies of cetaceans in the Pacific Islands. Saltwater has demonstrated its qualifications to serve as a prime contractor on these NOAA initiatives through its history of prior prime and subcontract work for the agency, including fishery disaster assistance, aquaculture support, and salmon habitat restoration.
