About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is soliciting vessel charter services to recover and deploy six autonomous acoustic recorder moorings for marine mammal research conducted by the Northwest Fisheries Science Center. The procurement requires a contractor to provide both vessel and crew services for approximately five to six days to support mooring operations along a 150 nautical mile route from the Columbia River to Cape Flattery, Washington, extending up to 40 nautical miles offshore. The vessel must be 50-80 feet in length, Coast Guard certified, and equipped with essential navigation and communication equipment including VHF radio, GPS, radar, and depth sounder, while accommodating scientific personnel and meeting all marine safety regulations. Quotes will be evaluated based on technical capability and price, with technical factors weighted more heavily than cost considerations. The solicitation deadline is August 14, 2025 at 1:00 PM Pacific Time, with quotes required to be submitted electronically to designated NOAA contracting personnel.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 483114 for Coastal and Great Lakes Passenger Transportation. The contract structure includes a base period running from award through December 31, 2025, with two optional one-year extension periods for 2026 and 2027, allowing for recurring annual mooring recovery and deployment operations. The vessel operations will be based from the Astoria, Oregon area with the place of performance listed as Seattle, Washington. The contractor will be responsible for all operational expenses, insurance coverage, and maintaining a minimum crew consisting of a captain and deckhand who will assist scientific personnel during the research mission. The government has not identified any incumbent contractors in the available documentation, and specific contract values or budget ranges were not disclosed in the solicitation materials.
