F87-R38 Juvenile Striped Bass Seg 38 Federal Portion and 1 more item

The Virginia Marine Resources Commission awarded a contract to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science on June 17, 2026, under purchase order PO05385210. The contract encompasses the delivery of juvenile striped bass specimens totaling 194,378 units across two line items: 167,407 units designated for the Federal Portion and 26,971 units for the State Portion of the F87-R38 Juvenile Striped Bass Segment 38 project. All deliveries are directed to Debbie Corker. The cumulative contract value is $194,378.00.

The contract represents a marine resource management initiative focused on juvenile striped bass propagation and distribution. While the specific period of performance and exact place of performance location within Virginia are not detailed in the award documentation, the structure of the line items—separating federal and state funding components—indicates a jointly-funded fisheries restoration or management effort. The unit pricing structure reflects per-specimen allocation rather than traditional service-based or materials-based pricing, consistent with biological specimen delivery contracts.
