About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) for the provision of continuous seawater supply to its La Jolla Laboratory facility. The SWFSC requires continuous seawater flow sourced from the University of California at San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). The seawater will be pumped from the intake at the end of the SIO Pier, flow through the SWFSC experimental aquarium and newly built technology tank, and returned to the ocean via SIO's seawater outfall. The performance period runs from September 14, 2026, through September 13, 2027.
The contractor shall provide operations and maintenance services for the SIO seawater system based on an expected continuous usage rate of 80 gallons per minute, which equates to approximately 42,048,000 gallons per year or 420,480 hundred-gallon units per year. All piping, valves, pumps, and associated equipment are owned and maintained by SIO, with the exception of equipment located on the premises of the SWFSC La Jolla Laboratory. The single deliverable is to provide continuous seawater flow to the SWFSC La Jolla Laboratory. This ongoing seawater supply enables the SWFSC to accomplish its mission of conducting research on the conservation and management of living marine resources. The UC Regents has been providing this seawater service to SWFSC for over five decades, with the arrangement formalized in a Ground Lease agreement signed by NOAA and the UC Regents in June 2009, which specifies that NOAA will compensate the UC Regents for seawater usage.

NOAA/NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE
SOUTHWEST FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER/O&M DIVISION
AQUARIA AND TECH TANK SEAWATER
Performance Work Statement
Performance Period: September 14, 2026- September 13, 2027
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 five decades for the experimental aquarium and newly built technology tank. 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 in June 2009. The Ground Lease further specifies that NOAA will pay the UC Regents for seawater usage.
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 continuous seawater delivered at a rate of 80 gallons per minute. Units = 100 gallons delivered (80 gallons per minute = 42,048,000 gallons per year = 420,480 hundred gallon units per year). Period of performance will be September 14, 2026 to September 13, 2027. This will allow the SWFSC to accomplish its mission of conducting research on the conservation and management of living marine resources.
IV. Deliverables
1. Provide continuous seawater flow to the SWFSC La Jolla Laboratory.
V. Period of Performance: 9/14/2026-9/13/2027
