Silver Spring, MD September 2022:

IBSS was awarded a new task with NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) to provide information technology (IT) support services to AFSC’s Office of Fisheries Information Services (OFIS) program. This task was awarded through a $10M Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with AFSC. 

The AFSC studies Alaska’s marine life and ecosystem and works toward a sustainable use of living marine resources. 

IBSS has served AFSC for seven years. Through this BPA, IBSS will continue to provide IT services that support applications and tools that are critical to the AFSC science mission. 

IBSS will support AFSC’s OFIS by providing the following services:

  • System Design, Development, Implementation, and Integration
  • Software Design, Development, Monitoring, and Continuous Improvement
  • Operations and Maintenance
  • Information Technology Program Support Services
  • Independent Assessments, Independent Reviews, and Mitigation Support

These services will enhance and sustain the technology support, operational capacity and quality of the technology services rendered by OFIS in order to improve collaboration and funding innovative projects to improve the quality of fisheries-dependent data.

As a trusted NOAA partner for over 20 years, IBSS looks forward to our continued delivery of innovative science-meets-technology solutions that forward the NOAA mission and make NOAA’s science matter to constituents both at home and abroad.
