About this award
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $500,000 firm fixed price definitive contract to D & D Products Incorporated, operating as Aquarius Systems, a woman-owned small business based in North Prairie, Wisconsin, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside and due for completion by October 16, 2026, funds the demonstration of an in-water collection and removal system for floating debris. This Phase II effort builds upon a previously completed $100,000 Phase I SBIR contract awarded to the same contractor to design and alpha test the debris collection system. The work leverages Aquarius Systems' established expertise as a manufacturer of aquatic plant harvesters and specialized waterway equipment, with performance occurring at the contractor's facility in North Prairie, Wisconsin.
The contract aligns with the EPA's SBIR program objectives to advance innovative environmental protection technologies through small business participation. Aquarius Systems' proposed solution addresses a critical environmental need for efficient floating debris removal from waterways, with potential commercial applications for federal agencies, state water management programs, and private entities. The contractor's demonstrated experience in this sector—including recent large awards from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for debris collection vessels—positions them well to successfully complete this Phase II demonstration and advance the technology toward commercialization.
