About this award
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) awarded a $863,071 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Coastal Frontiers Corporation on February 1, 2025, for research on the 2024-25 freeze-up and break-up of Arctic sea ice in the U.S. Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. The 15-month project, which extends through August 31, 2026, involves comprehensive analysis of sea ice dynamics using RADARSAT satellite imagery, historical data from Joint Industry Project partners, and reconnaissance flight information. This was a sole-source procurement, with Coastal Frontiers identified as the only qualified contractor due to their role as Primary Investigator since 2009 and exclusive access to historical radar satellite images under existing non-disclosure agreements. The contract modification ensures compliance with updated federal guidance and eliminates non-statutory sustainability requirements while enhancing representational and certification clauses. The contract is not set-aside, though BSEE designated Coastal Frontiers as the preferred contractor based on their specialized technical capabilities in Arctic sea ice research and satellite imagery analysis.
Coastal Frontiers Corporation, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Moorpark, California, has established itself as a key federal contractor specializing in coastal engineering, oceanographic research, and environmental monitoring services since its SAM registration in 2002. The company has successfully delivered multiple prime contracts from BSEE and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with particular expertise in Arctic sea ice research and coastal monitoring. Additionally, Coastal Frontiers holds a $9.8 million single-award IDIQ contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District through November 2026 for civil engineering services and coastal planning projects, demonstrating the company's established track record in executing complex environmental research and monitoring projects for federal agencies.
