About this file
This is a vendor capabilities spreadsheet template accompanying a Request for Information (RFI) from NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center for the purchase of a scientific research vessel. The template requests detailed information about vessel specifications including: construction year (must be after 1985), maximum length of 95 feet, steel or aluminum monohull construction, U.S. or foreign flag status, maximum weight of 100 gross tons, and minimum engine output of 500 horsepower.
The spreadsheet covers key vessel requirements such as minimum 7-day endurance, ability to operate in sea state 6 conditions, berthing for 10-12 people, trawling capabilities, and various technical specifications like bow thrusters and fire suppression systems. Vendors must provide compliance information, note any required modifications, and include details about vessel availability, current stability certification, rough cost estimates, and home port location. Responses are due to Amanda Rossiter at NOAA by January 8, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET.
