The solicitation is for a Firm-Fixed Price type contract that will require a vessel capable of performing scientific marine research surveys in 2026, 2028, 2027, and 2029. The contract is classified under the Coastal and Great Lakes Passenger Transportation NAICS category and Transport Vessels PSC category, indicating the specialized nature of the vessel requirements. Interested vendors must submit their proposals by June 13, 2025, which represents the critical response deadline for this opportunity. The primary objective of this charter is to support marine scientific research by providing a vessel that can conduct comprehensive groundfish stock assessments in specified marine regions.
This contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for the award. The place of performance will be in the marine waters of the Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska, requiring a vessel with appropriate maritime capabilities for scientific research. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract involves multiple survey years spanning 2026-2030, suggesting a potentially significant multi-year engagement. The vessel must be equipped to conduct detailed bottom trawl surveys, which implies substantial marine research infrastructure and technical capabilities. The Department of Commerce's NOAA is leveraging this charter to gather critical scientific data about groundfish populations, highlighting the contract's importance to marine resource management and ecological research.
