About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce is soliciting vessel charter services and technical assistance for marine turtle surveys in the Mariana Islands region. The procurement involves two separate 10-day survey periods, with the first occurring in August 2025 covering waters off Guam and Tinian, and the second in August 2026 expanding to include Saipan alongside Guam and Tinian. The Marine Turtle Biological Assessment Program (MTBAP) retains discretion to modify the survey dates as needed. This solicitation was posted on June 20, 2025, with responses due by June 27, 2025, providing potential contractors with only seven days to prepare and submit their proposals. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 483112 for Deep Sea Passenger Transportation and PSC category F020 for Natural Resources/Conservation-Fisheries Resources Management.
This contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business entities. The services will be performed in the waters surrounding the U.S. territories of Guam, Tinian, and Saipan in the Western Pacific. The contract spans a multi-year timeline with marine turtle survey operations scheduled for August 2025 and August 2026, with each survey period lasting 10 days. The solicitation does not specify award values, budget ranges, or identify any incumbent contractors currently providing similar services. The geographic scope expands between the two survey periods, with the second year including Saipan in addition to the Guam and Tinian locations covered in the initial survey.
