AI Contract Overview

Show more

Humboldt Bay Oyster Company operates a shellfish farming facility in Humboldt Bay, California, with a history dating back to 1978 and ownership since 2002. The company currently cultivates Pacific oysters, Kumamoto oysters, and Manila clams using established methods such as FLUPSY systems, raft culture, and rack and bag culture within a 17.8-acre farm area. The company is seeking approval to expand its operations into two new areas totaling 13.9 acres and to implement an additional intertidal cultivation technique called longline culture, which may involve SEAPA-style baskets or tipping bags, with or without floats that utilize tidal movement to tumble oysters and enhance growth. The proposed methods are intended to complement existing practices and are consistent with species already well-established in the region. The agency responsible for oversight is the Humboldt Bay Harbor District, with primary contact information provided for the District Planner and the company owner. The project was posted for public review in June 2026 and is located in the 95521 zip code area of California.

Full Description

Show more
Humboldt Bay Oyster Company (HBOC) currently farms Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and Kumamoto oysters (Magallana sikimea) to maturity as well as Manila clams (Venerupis philippinarum) for seed in Humboldt Bay, California. The farm was established in 1978 and HBOC purchased it from Kuiper Mariculture in 2002. The proposed project seeks approval for (1) its existing FLUPSY, raft culture, and rack and bag culture methods within existing 17.8 acre farming area, (2) farming within two proposed expansion areas near-by (3.1-acre Expansion Area 1 and 10.8-acre Expansion Area 2), and (3) the use of an additional intertidal culture method known as “Longline Culture”. A FLUPSY is a raft consisting of a series of bins containing shellfish seed suspended into the water and an electric paddle wheel to move water through the bins to create “upwelling” that is beneficial to growth of shellfish seed. The species they currently farm are already abundantly cultured in Humboldt Bay. The proposed intertidal longline culture method involves using either SEAPA-type culture baskets or tipping bags. These systems may be deployed with or without floats that harness tidal energy to "tumble" the oysters. HBOC proposes the use of intertidal longlines within existing rack & bag culture areas and within the proposed expansion areas.

Humboldt Bay Oyster Company Shellfish Farm
Solicitation # SCH-2026020306
Humboldt Bay Oyster Company operates a shellfish aquaculture farm in Humboldt Bay, California, cultivating Pacific oysters, Kumamoto oysters, and Manila clams using established methods such as FLUPSY, raft culture, and rack and bag systems within a currently permitted 17.8-acre area. The proposed project seeks authorization to expand operations into two new zones—3.1 acres in Expansion Area 1 and 10.8 acres in Expansion Area 2—and to introduce intertidal longline culture using SEAPA-type baskets or tipping bags that may employ tidal energy to tumble oysters, enhancing growth without artificial inputs or chemicals. The project is non-invasive, relying on steel rebar racks, PVC posts, and anchoring systems with no excavation or permanent structures, and includes strict protocols to avoid eelgrass habitats and cultural resources. Operationally, all equipment must be labeled with the company name and contact information to facilitate debris tracking, though no formal packaging, preservation, or product labeling standards apply. The project is subject to environmental review under CEQA, with compliance governed by California statutes including the Eelgrass Mitigation Policy, Clean Water Act Section 401, and AB 52 tribal consultation requirements, and includes mandatory adherence to an Inadvertent Discovery Protocol that requires immediate work stoppage, notification of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers from the Wiyot Tribe, Blue Lake Rancheria, and Bear River Band, and submission of culturally appropriate treatment plans should cultural or archaeological materials be encountered. Regulatory oversight is managed by the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District, with the District Planner serving as the primary point of contact for coordination, permitting, and enforcement, while all activities must meet air quality, hydrology, biological, and cultural resource thresholds defined by adjectival impact ratings—No Impact, Less than Significant, or Potentially Significant—as part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. No formal contract pricing, payment terms, or delivery schedules are documented, and the project operates under a permit-type authority rather than a traditional federal procurement contract, with no FAR clauses, CLINs, or federal solicitation mechanisms applied. Financial obligations are limited to environmental filing fees paid to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Humboldt Bay Harbor District, and the business is recognized as a small operation with two full-time employees, though no socioeconomic certifications are formally declared.
