About this award

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) awarded a $564,231 firm fixed-price definitive contract to the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation (NMSF), a nonprofit organization supporting marine conservation initiatives in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The contract, awarded October 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of September 25, 2025, will be performed in Silver Spring, Maryland. This non-set-aside award was issued through a special notice competitive process and represents BOEM's continued investment in marine ecosystem research and environmental protection activities.

Under this contract, NMSF will identify thresholds of Dimethylsulfide (DMS) concentrations and their relationship to the predictability and presence of North Atlantic Right Whales (NARW). The work includes real-time shipboard and autonomous measurements of DMS correlated with observations of Calanus and NARW abundance to develop predictive models for NARW occurrence, as well as developing satellite capabilities to remotely sense and identify DMS. However, this contract modification terminates the effort for the convenience of the government at no fault to the contractor, ending the research initiative prior to its originally anticipated three-year performance period.
