AI Contract Overview

The contract involves a sole source negotiation with the American Fishermen's Research Foundation (AFRF) by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) based in La Jolla, California. The main objective is to charter vessels to carry out two tagging expeditions off the U.S. West Coast in the North Pacific transition zone, focusing on deploying 120 electronic archival tags annually on juvenile North Pacific albacore tuna during the fishing season from July to November. Tag deployment is expected to begin around July 1, 2004, and may be conducted over multiple trips as determined by SWFSC scientists, with supervision by SWFSC technicians to ensure accuracy and data integrity. AFRF is uniquely qualified due to its exclusive communications and relationships with all other vessels in the U.S. toll fleet capable of supporting albacore tuna tagging operations, making it the sole viable contractor for this work. The simplified acquisition contract is valued at less than $100,000 and is intended to support essential fisheries research efforts. The contracting office is located in Seattle, WA, with Maria L. Mendoza serving as the primary point of contact.
