About this file
The file is a Vendor Capabilities spreadsheet related to a Request for Information (RFI) for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Northeast Fisheries Science Center's procurement of a multipurpose research vessel. NOAA seeks a new build steel monohull vessel with a maximum length of 100 feet, built in the United States and compliant with USCG SubChapter T regulations, designed for scientific marine research in coastal and offshore waters of New England and Mid-Atlantic regions.
Key vessel requirements include a minimum transit speed of 9 knots, 500 horsepower main engines, seven-day minimum endurance, ability to safely operate in sea state 6 conditions, berthing for 10-12 persons, trawling capabilities, and flexible configuration to accommodate scientific equipment like multibeam sonar, live-feed cameras, and various sampling gear. The vessel should have back deck space for trawling operations, fish processing, and scientific equipment, with preferred features including a bow thruster, stabilization systems, and an aft-facing doghouse control station. NOAA is conducting market research to assess vendor capabilities and potential vessel designs, with vendors invited to provide technical specifications, cost estimates, and availability timelines.
