About this award
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to Aquarealtime, Inc., a for-profit small business located in Boulder, Colorado. The $99,997.33 firm-fixed-price contract was awarded on March 1, 2020 to support the development of advanced environmental monitoring technologies, with a focus on algae tracking and harmful algal bloom (HAB) detection systems.
The original solicitation was a FY 2019-2020 SBIR Phase I opportunity, which was set aside for small businesses. Aquarealtime's proposed solution involves designing and manufacturing low-cost, networked IoT sensor systems to provide early detection and predictive capabilities for environmental challenges, particularly in marine and aquatic ecosystems. This SBIR Phase I award enables Aquarealtime to further develop its OceanAlgaeTracker (OAT) system, a sophisticated sensor buoy that can independently measure levels of five major algae groups using fluorescence technology. The goal is to create a low-cost, lightweight buoy that can detect harmful algal blooms earlier and more accurately than current methods, especially near shorelines.
