About the company
Fishing Vessel North Wind, Inc., a small-business for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Seattle, Washington, operates as a prime contractor providing marine vessel services, ocean observation platform deployment and maintenance, and buoy servicing to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and subordinate federal maritime customers. The vendor competes exclusively under Total Small Business Set-Aside designations on its most substantial current work, though carries a mixed posture across its historical footprint with both set-aside and unrestricted full-and-open awards.
Customer concentration is extreme. NOAA accounts for 34 of 45 awards (93% by count) and $194.5 million of $195.6 million in combined potential value (99% of dollars). The Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey holds five awards, and the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command and Naval Sea Systems Command together account for three awards valued at $963 thousand. Fishing Vessel North Wind operates as a prime contractor exclusively; it holds no recorded subcontract awards.
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on deep-sea freight transportation (NAICS 483111, primary categorization across 30 of 45 awards) and marine charter services supporting weather reporting and ocean observation. Representative work includes a $5.761 million firm fixed-price delivery order from NOAA issued October 1, 2026, under the Marine Services to Support the Maintenance of the National Data Buoy Center Ocean Observation System of Systems IDIQ, supporting deployment, servicing, and maintenance of critical ocean observation infrastructure across the Pacific Ocean with performance through October 30, 2027. A $5.591 million FY 2026 Pacific Vessel Order delivery order awarded October 1, 2025, covers buoy deployment, recovery, maintenance, mooring installation and inspection, and marine research crew support. A $11.401 million firm fixed-price delivery order from September 1, 2022, designated Total Small Business Set-Aside, supported NOAA's National Data Buoy Center buoy maintenance and operation services in the Pacific Ocean through November 30, 2024.
Fishing Vessel North Wind holds positions on two active NOAA blanket ordering agreements—Basic Ordering Agreement DOCEA133W16BR0005 (15 task orders, $69.7 million combined potential value) and DOCQA133W12CQ0009 (7 task orders, $28.9 million)—plus the Marine Services IDIQ awarded December 31, 2025, with a $49.990 million ceiling extending through December 30, 2030. The December 2025 IDIQ is designated Total Small Business Set-Aside, covers Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific ocean regions, and includes maintenance of approximately 39 Deep-Ocean Reporting and Assessment of Tsunamis stations, over 100 moored buoys within the Weather and Ocean Platform Network, and 55 Tropical Atmosphere Ocean buoys. Activity has declined over recent years—one award in 2021 to two each in 2024 and 2025—with two awards totaling $11.4 million in combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure.
