Deadline for written questions: 12.13.2017
Deadline for submissions: 12.29.2017

Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) seeks a contractor to provide
technical and analytical support necessary for NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), Alaska Region, to manage catch share programs in the federal
fisheries off Alaska.

This project has three tasks:

1. Preparation of analytical documents to support fishery management plan and/or
regulatory amendments to the American Fisheries Act (AFA) and Halibut and
Sablefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) catch share programs identified
following recent program reviews.

2. Assistance with preparation of the proposed and final rule documents for
regulations to revise the AFA and IFQ Programs that arise from task 1.

3. Preparation of analytical documents for additional revisions to the AFA
and IFQ Programs that develop as a result of tasks 1 and 2 or are
prioritized by NMFS in the future.

Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission Data Analytics and Business Intelligence Support

Deadline for written questions: 11.28.2017
Deadline for submissions: 12.18.2017

The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) maintains multiple databases that
consolidate fisheries-dependent and independent data from various state and federal agencies on
the fisheries of Alaska and the West Coast. PSMFC programs associated with these databases include
the Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN), the Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN)
and the Recreational Fisheries Information Network (RecFIN). These data sets are used by managers
and stock assessors to estimate population sizes, detect trends and examine the effects of different
management activities. Fishing activity plays an important role in local and regional economies and
PSMFC maintains data that helps economists and industry better understand the role of fisheries in
the economy. PSMFC is seeking proposals to assist with data analytics and business intelligence (BI)
support.

Develop a user-friendly web-based interface for OptiPass, a decision support tool used by the
California Fish Passage Forum, by November of 2018.
A project-scoping phase of the proposal will be important to design the user interface based on
input from a focus group of potential end-users and the authors of OptiPass. An end-user testing
phase will also be very important.
