AI Contract Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, through its NOAA Fisheries division, is pursuing a sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.201-1 for environmental monitoring systems to be installed and maintained on commercial lobster traps and large trawlers operating from Maine to North Carolina. The solicitation, identified as REQUIREMENTS-26-3045, was posted on June 25, 2026, with a response deadline of July 10, 2026, and is limited to the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation, Inc., the only identified responsible source capable of fulfilling the complex technical and operational requirements. The project supports NOAA’s eMOLT and Large Trawlers programs by enabling routine environmental data collection during normal fishing operations across more than 145 vessels, requiring the vendor to recruit and coordinate with fishermen, procure and deploy compatible monitoring equipment, maintain cloud-based data infrastructure, coordinate with cellular network providers, and provide a full-time lead dockside technician for on-site program oversight. All equipment must match existing systems in form, fit, and function, and performance is centered in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, with field operations extending across Northeastern U.S. fishing ports. The contract structure includes one base year and four one-year option periods, potentially spanning five years, with an estimated ceiling value of up to $9 million based on procedural limits rather than detailed cost breakdowns. Proposals must include a detailed capabilities statement submitted via email to designated contracting personnel, with no formal page limits or required sectioning. While no specific pricing line items, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or payment details are provided in the available documentation, the acquisition is non-competitive and based solely on the vendor’s demonstrated technical capability, responsibility, and program familiarity. No socioeconomic certifications, security clearances, or formal FAR clauses beyond the sole-source authority are cited, and the contracting officer and specialist are listed as Rachel Stone and Jamie Abu Shakrah, respectively.
