Ocean Associates, Inc. (OAI), a leading technical and professional services provider, has been awarded a follow on Professional and Technical Services Fisheries Domain contract (ProTech Fisheries) by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

This is a new 10-year contract vehicle under which OAI will be eligible to compete for task orders supporting the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). OAI is one of 21 vendors who will be competing for task orders under the new ProTech Fisheries 2.0 domain contract. OAI has successfully operated under the preceding ProTech Fisheries 1.0 contract holding 18 task order awards worth $60 million and has partnered with other vendors on 18 other task order awards worth $44 million.

OAI now holds NOAA ProTech Fisheries, NOAA ProTech Oceans and NOAA Mission Information Technology Services (NMITS) contract vehicles as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB).

“OAI is well positioned to continue to perform ProTech Fisheries work in view of our long history of support to NMFS and we will be complemented by a strong team of subcontracting partners,” noted CEO Juleen Savarese. “We have proudly served as a trusted partner to NMFS for the past 20 years and we are looking forward to continuing our support of NMFS’ mission.”
