Branch Trevor

Branch Trevor, doing business as Fisheries In Silico, is a sole proprietorship based in Edmonds, Washington, that provides independent scientific peer review and technical analysis services for Pacific whiting fisheries management to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as a prime contractor under full-and-open purchase orders carrying no set-aside designation.

All eight of Branch Trevor's recent federal awards are with NOAA, concentrating entirely on Pacific whiting treaty management and stock assessment work under the U.S.-Canada Pacific Whiting Agreement. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $216 thousand, with $180 thousand obligated to date. The vendor operates across two primary NAICS categories — Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (6 awards) and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (2 awards) — with PSC coding weighted toward Special Studies and Analysis for Scientific Data. Activity is sparse but sustained: one award per year in 2017 and 2018, then a three-year gap, followed by awards in 2025 and 2026. The three most recent contracts exemplify the work scope: a $43,840 purchase order (October 2022, completed September 2025) for non-personal services as an independent peer reviewer for 2022–2026 Pacific hake/whiting stock assessments; a $16,108 purchase order (September 2025, completion September 2026) for independent review of the Joint Technical Team's work and initial catch data analysis; and a $51,996 purchase order (November 2026, completion October 2029) to serve as an independent member of the Scientific Review Group established under the treaty. Work is performed in Long Beach, California and Woodway, Washington. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not hold a seat on any federal IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles. The single-customer concentration and modest award volume reflect a specialized technical niche in fisheries science rather than broad federal market engagement.
