About this file

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) details NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center's requirement for continuous seawater flow from the University of California at San Diego's (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) for their La Jolla Laboratory. The seawater will be pumped from the SIO Pier intake, flow through the SWFSC experimental aquarium, and returned to the ocean via SIO's seawater outfall. The contract is for operations and maintenance of the seawater system, with pricing set at $0.44 per 100 gallons delivered, expecting an 80-gallon-per-minute flow and an estimated annual cost of $185,011.20. The performance period is from September 14, 2025, to September 13, 2026, supporting SWFSC's mission of marine resource conservation and research.

NOAA/NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE

SOUTHWEST FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER

O&M DIVISION

Performance Work Statement

Performance Period: September 14, 2025- September 13, 2026

I. Introduction

The NOAA / Southwest Fisheries Science Center requires continuous seawater flow supplied from the University of California at San Diego’s (UCSD) Scripps Institution of

Oceanography (SIO).

II. Background

The UCSD Regents has been providing continuous seawater to the SWFSC for over 5 decades for the experimental aquarium and newly built technology tank. There are no other possible sources to provide the SWFSC with continuous seawater flow. The

SWFSC La Jolla Laboratory is located on the campus of SIO, which is part of the

University of California system, governed by the UC Regents. NOAA and the UC

Regents signed the Ground Lease for the land on which the laboratory was built on 17

June 2009. The Ground Lease further specifies that NOAA will pay the UC Regents for seawater usage. The infrastructure to provide the seawater is in place and there is no other source.

III. Description of Work and Services

Requirement is to provide a continuous flow of seawater to the La Jolla Laboratory.

Seawater will be pumped from the intake at the end of the Scripps Institution of

Oceanography (SIO) Pier, flow through the SWFSC experimental aquarium, and returned to the ocean via SIO’s seawater outfall. All piping, valves, pumps and associated equipment are owned and maintained by SIO, with the exception of equipment on the premises of the SWFSC La Jolla Laboratory. Contract will be for the cost of operations and maintenance of the SIO sweater system based on an expected usage rate of $0.44 per

100 gallons delivered. Expected flow is 80 gallons per minute with annual cost estimated to be $185,011.20. Period of performance will be September 14, 2025 to September 13, 2026. This will allow the SWFSC to accomplish its mission of conducting research on the conservation and management of living marine resources.

IV. Deliverables

Provide continuous seawater flow to the SWFSC La Jolla Laboratory.

V. Period of Performance

Base Year: 9/14/2025-9/13/2026
