Description
The State of South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is soliciting fixed‑price bids for a three‑year, at‑sea observer program supporting the for‑hire recreational reef‑fish fishery. Qualified vendors will place observers on charter vessels, collect discard and catch data, and submit weekly and annual reports. Payments are made per completed trip, with a capped annual amount per vessel. The contract does not guarantee a set number of trips; vessels are placed on a Qualified Provider List and assigned trips randomly.
