The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration seeks immersion suit inspection, repair, and certification services through a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement, with proposals due September 2, 2026, and questions due August 31. The procurement is set aside for Women-Owned Small Business concerns.

Place of performance is the contractor's facility, with pickup and delivery at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Seattle, Washington (Building 33, 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115).

The estimated total BPA value is $75,000 over five years (September 18, 2026 through September 17, 2031), with individual call orders not to exceed $20,000 each. Up to 300 immersion suits may require service throughout the BPA period. The NAICS code is 811210, Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance.
