About this award
Desert Star Systems LLC, a small disadvantaged business specializing in marine technology and underwater acoustic systems, was awarded a $690,775 firm fixed-price definitive contract by Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) on September 30, 2022. Under BAA Need Topic N-0257-22, the company will demonstrate and validate existing sparse acoustic array technology to support Navy marine species monitoring objectives. The specific project, titled "Long-Term Sparse Array Localization Feasibility Study Using a SonarPoint System," will be performed in Marina, California, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026. This contract was awarded through full and open competition with incremental funding and carries no small business set-aside designation.
The contract directly addresses NAVFAC's requirement to leverage existing sparse acoustic array technologies for detecting and localizing marine mammals near Navy ranges on the west coast. Desert Star Systems' expertise in underwater acoustic systems and marine monitoring aligns with the Navy's broader marine species monitoring goals, which also encompassed parallel efforts to improve marine mammal tagging systems and enhance species identification methods using sensor data. The company's track record of securing federal contracts from NOAA, NAVFAC, and DARPA for marine conservation and advanced underwater communication technologies demonstrates relevant experience in delivering innovative solutions for defense and environmental monitoring applications.
