B & N Fisheries Company

B & N Fisheries Company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2005, with a current registration valid until February 2025. The company specializes in maritime services, particularly vessel charters for scientific research and marine surveys. While specific details about the company's founding, leadership, or additional business activities are not provided in the available information, the federal contract history demonstrates a strong focus on supporting marine research and fisheries management through vessel chartering services.

The company has consistently been awarded prime federal contracts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically with the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, to provide specialized vessel charters for critical marine research. These contracts, ranging from $1.7 million to $6.5 million, involve chartering vessels at least 120 feet in length with experienced crews to conduct comprehensive marine surveys. The specific research projects include bottom trawl surveys of groundfish and crab stocks in the Gulf of Alaska, eastern Bering Sea, and northern Bering Sea, as well as specialized studies like the Northern Bering Sea Effects of Trawling Study (NETS). Most of these contracts were set aside for small businesses, with B & N Fisheries Company successfully winning competitive bids. The contracts typically have base periods of performance spanning multiple years, with options for extensions, highlighting the company's recurring role in supporting critical marine science and fisheries management research for the federal government.

B & N Fisheries is primarily engaged in catching finfish in the state of Alaska. Additional services include chartering/ research surveys performed for the government and also tendering services performed for various fish processors.
