Ocean Associates, Inc. (OAI) has been awarded a task order through the GSA schedule to provide administrative, scientific and technical support services to the NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS). OAI has supported CO-OPS since 2021 and we are proud of our exceptional team of employees supporting this work. This is a three and a half year task order which was started on January 3, 2026.
Starting in 1807 as 'Survey of the Coast', NOS CO-OPS and its precursors have produced and distributed information about water levels, tides and currents. This information is critical to maritime transit, commerce, and the safety of the American public.
