About the company
Ropeless Systems, Inc. is a specialized vendor registered to receive awards from the U.S. federal government since March 29, 2022. As a corporate entity classified as a for-profit organization, veteran-owned business, and manufacturer of goods, the company focuses on developing and supplying innovative fishing gear solutions, particularly buoyless/ropeless systems for fishing operations. These advanced systems are designed to mitigate environmental impacts on marine wildlife, especially whales, by eliminating the need for vertical lines in fishing gear. Ropeless Systems, Inc. has secured significant federal contract awards and participated in grant-funded research and development initiatives, positioning itself as a key player in advancing sustainable fishing practices.
The company has been awarded two notable prime federal contracts by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In August 2024, Ropeless Systems, Inc. received a firm-fixed price contract valued at $5,774,540.00 to supply buoyless/ropeless systems for the Northeast Fisheries Science Center. These systems incorporate underwater acoustic release mechanisms that allow fishermen to retrieve their gear without using vertical lines, thus reducing the risk of whale entanglement. An earlier contract, awarded in July 2022 and valued at $5,753,504.76, also involves providing similar buoyless/ropeless fishing systems. This contract, running through June 2027, includes a partial small business set-aside. Both awards demonstrate NOAA's commitment to developing fishing gear that protects marine life while supporting the fishing industry. The contracts require Ropeless Systems, Inc. to manufacture and supply these specialized systems, with performance locations including Biddeford, Maine.
In addition to federal contracts, Ropeless Systems, Inc. has participated in federal grant sub-awards, collaborating with prime grantees such as the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. One significant sub-award focuses on incorporating feedback from fishing trials and operator engagement to achieve an innovative fishing gear design suitable for widespread production in commercial fisheries. The project aims to manufacture ropeless systems with acoustic location and recovery capabilities at the lowest achievable production cost. This grant work aligns with the company's core mission of developing environmentally friendly fishing technologies and highlights its role in advancing sustainable fishing practices through research and development initiatives. The sub-award demonstrates the company's involvement in not only supplying equipment but also in refining and improving their technologies based on real-world feedback and applications.
