FY19 Rescue Boat Replacement

STATEMENT OF WORK

May 31, 2019

1. BACKGROUND:

NOAA’s research and survey ships comprise the largest fleet of federal research ships in the

Nation. Ranging from large oceanographic research vessels capable of exploring the world’s deepest ocean, to smaller ships responsible for charting the shallow bays and inlets of the

United States, the fleet supports a wide range of marine activities including fisheries research, nautical charting, and ocean and climate studies. In addition to its ships, the NOAA Small

Boat Program manages a fleet of more than 400 small boats that perform various data collection missions for NOAA throughout the United States and its territories including hydrographic surveys, fishing, diving, scientific instrument deployment/recovery, water and air quality monitoring, law enforcement and marine mammal surveys. Vessels vary in size from a simple 10-ft. kayak to a complex 85-ft. research vessel. The majority of small boats fall within the range of 16-26 feet in length and operate in near-shore environments, but extended missions in deep water environments are common among the larger vessels.

The NOAA small boat defined in this Statement of Need is to be carried as a Rescue Boat aboard the NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow (R 225), commissioned in 2006. The ship is homeported in Newport, RI and her primary mission is to study and monitor fish stocks. Since commissioning the ship was equipped with a Schat Harding single point davit which has been maintained in good condition. The original rescue boat and its replacement have been decommissioned due to extenuating circumstances.
