The anticipated award is designated as a total small business set-aside with a NAICS code of 541690 and size standard of $16.5 million. The current incumbent is Lynker Technologies performing under an award expiring August 31, 2023 but with potential transition services through early fiscal year 2024. The draft performance work statement requires observers to achieve minimum coverage levels of 15-20% for various fisheries and maintain equipment and supplies while collecting and reporting data to effectively monitor the fisheries.
