- The Eastern Region Acquisition Division (ERAD) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Norfolk, VA is soliciting quotes, on behalf of the NOAA Fisheries Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The NEFSC Cooperative Research Study Fleet Program, along with other research branches within the NEFSC, requires Contractor support in one or more areas of scientific investigation. The Study Fleet will require services of commercial trawl and fixed gear vessels fishing for monkfish, groundfish, Atlantic herring, Atlantic mackerel, long-finned squid and other mid-Atlantic commercial species. The Contractor shall assist in collecting and confirming tow-by-tow data through an electronic logbook system and a web based data confirmation system. This will be accomplished through use of the NEFSC Fisheries Logbook Data Recording Systems (FLDRS) software, or sector management electronic reporting tools capable of recording and transmitting the necessary data elements, as determined by the NEFSC. Contractors may also perform testing of new software versions and capabilities. Work shall be on a schedule consistent with the vessel's fishing and gear research practices. The planned period of performance is for a base period of one (1) year and four (4) one year options. This is a 100% Total Small Business Set-aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the acquisition is 541712 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. The small business size standard is 1000 employees. NOAA anticipates making multiple contract awards as a result of this solicitation.

The solicitation will be available electronically approximately on or about May 10, 2017 via FedBizOpps at www.fedbizopps.gov.
