Nathan Ronald Vaughan

Nathan Ronald Vaughan, operating as Vaughan Analytics, is a sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since May 23, 2019, specializing in scientific and technical consulting services with a focus on fisheries management and data analytics. The business provides advanced modeling and decision support tools primarily for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), leveraging expertise in stock assessment methodologies and fishery management systems. Located in Miami, Florida, Vaughan Analytics is a for-profit organization that has developed a niche in creating sophisticated computational models and tools to support sustainable marine resource management.

Through federal contract awards, Vaughan Analytics has consistently provided NOAA with specialized scientific consulting services, particularly in stock assessment modeling. The company has been awarded multiple contracts totaling over $697,000, including a $223,004.01 purchase order to serve as a representative on the NOAA Fisheries Integrated Modeling System (FIMS) development team, and a $334,000.00 definitive contract for delivering a stock assessment decision support tool. These contracts, awarded under NAICS code 541690 for Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services, have been primarily sole source or small business set-aside procurements, highlighting the firm's unique capabilities in developing advanced fishery assessment technologies and supporting sustainable marine resource management strategies.

Regarding federal grant awards, Vaughan Analytics has received cooperative agreements from NOAA focused on advancing fisheries management decision-making processes. These grants, totaling approximately $1-2 million, are specifically designed to support the implementation of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The grants, including a $1 million cooperative agreement ending September 30, 2028, aim to improve stock assessment methodologies by developing more accurate models for determining species-specific annual overfishing limits and acceptable biological catch limits. The primary objectives of these grants involve enhancing scientific information used in fishery management, creating more precise projection models, and supporting the Southeast Fisheries Science Center and Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's scientific decision-making processes.
