In September 2018 A.I.S., Inc. (AIS) was awarded a NOAA ProTech Fisheries Domain contract. NOAA ProTech is a strategic sourcing initiative to acquire professional and technical services efficiently and effectively through a suite of contracting vehicles. The ProTech Branch is organized into five Domains: Satellite, Fisheries, Oceans, Weather, and Enterprise Operations. NOAA Fisheries is responsible for the stewardship of the nation’s ocean resources and their habitat. AIS mobilizes a workforce of professionals to provide vital services to NOAA in support of productive and sustainable fisheries, safe sources of seafood, the recovery and conservation of protected resources and habitats, healthy ecosystems, and organizational excellence.
AIS has organized a ProTech Fisheries Domain Team comprised of eight companies, both large and small, with proven records of delivering high quality, performance based professional, scientific, and technical services to NOAA. The AIS ProTech Team has extensive management experience and places high value on customer service, support to our employees, and efficient business practices.
