About this award

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $579,000 firm fixed-price contract to North Pacific Wildlife Consulting, LLC (NPWC) on September 4, 2023, for Steller sea lion research and protected species management coordination in the Russian Far East. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, will be performed in Seattle, Washington, with a completion date of September 3, 2025. NPWC will develop analytical methods for evaluating over 80 remote camera installations located across Russia and Alaska to estimate vital rates and population counts of Steller sea lions. The work encompasses maintaining these remote monitoring sites, serving as a scientific liaison for international meetings between U.S. and Russian researchers, and communicating findings through scientific publications and presentations.

NPWC is a small business specializing in marine mammal research and management services with extensive experience supporting federal agencies on transboundary marine species issues. The contractor's past performance includes similar work for NOAA on Steller sea lion population research and coordination between U.S. and Russian scientists, as well as collaborative studies on northern fur seals and other North Pacific marine mammals. Given the specialized expertise required for fieldwork in Russia and proficiency in Russian Steller sea lion ecology, this award leverages NPWC's established relationships and technical capabilities to advance joint U.S.-Russia marine mammal conservation objectives under NOAA's marine stewardship programs.
