The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries is seeking qualified commercial and for-hire fishing vessels to provide year-round research and monitoring support in the coastal waters of the Commonwealth. This fee-for-service procurement utilizes a blanket purchase method to establish a list of qualified vendors who can be called upon as needs arise. The performance period is scheduled from September 1, 2026, to September 1, 2035, with a bid opening date of September 1, 2029. Contractors must provide a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain and crew to operate the vessel and all necessary fishing equipment, including winches, nets, and booms.
