About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) S-63500-00011034 to contract an ocean vessel for scientific surveying of nearshore semi-pelagic rockfish. The procurement seeks a vessel, vessel master, second watch master, and one deck hand to conduct fish finder transects in Oregon's waters between California and Washington, specifically inshore of the 60 fathom contour. Vessels will be required to operate at approximately 5 knots during daylight hours, with ODFW staff performing the primary research objectives. The contract term is anticipated from April 1, 2025, through November 1, 2025, with potential renewals for up to five years total. Evaluation criteria include price, references, vessel master/crew qualifications, and vessel information/approach. The proposal submission deadline is September 11, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, with a maximum of 40 survey days planned during August through October 2025. The evaluation process will prioritize the highest-ranking proposal based on a comprehensive scoring system.
The RFP demonstrates a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, allowing participation from certified disadvantaged businesses. Krab Kettle Fisheries, Inc. of Florence, Oregon, appears to be the preferred vendor, having received an impressive 144.6 out of 150 possible points in the evaluation process. The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or precise budget ranges, though the Notice of Intent to Award indicates ODFW's intent to contract with Krab Kettle Fisheries for the scientific survey project. No specific infrastructure or technology integration requirements were detailed in the available documentation. The procurement focuses on obtaining a qualified vessel and crew capable of supporting ODFW's scientific research objectives for Black Rockfish population counting in Oregon's coastal waters. The contract opportunity represents a targeted, specialized procurement aimed at supporting marine scientific research through a professional vessel and crew engagement.
