Description

Special Notice: RQ-25-3958NOAA / NMFS / AKFSCThe U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC), intends to award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with LFS, Inc., of Bellingham, Washington, to procure the following:Provide trawl materials and supplies that will be used for repairs on 2025 survey season trawls and to construct and repair trawls in preparation for surveys and research conducted in Alaskan waters for FY 2026.The Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) conducts five distinct bottom trawl surveys in Alaska; some are performed annually and some biennially.

In order for the trawl surveys to provide reliable and unbiased information, the fishing gear and methods are strictly standardized so that observations are consistent and unbiased from location to location and from year to year so that the change in materials or methods does not bias abundance estimates.

These materials must be the same from year to year, and the specifications must remain the same over time to ensure standardization. Rope and twine looming techniques are held to secrecy and patented, where each manufacturer produces the specific fibers, natural or synthetic, used for their product and specific to each reseller. The rope and t...
