- Description
- NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has a requirement for fishery observer support services to support the North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program. Work may include collecting data used for a wide variety of purposes including: (1) stock assessment; (2) monitoring groundfish quotas; (3) monitoring bycatch of groundfish and non-groundfish species; (4) assessing the effects of the groundfish fishery on other living marine resources and their habitat; and (5) assessing methods intended to improve the conservation and management of groundfish and other living marine resources. Currently vessels fishing in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska are required to meet observer coverage levels that are specified in regulation and to procure the observers from certified observer providers. A single award may be made for an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) type contract in which task orders will be issued for specific work.
