About this award

Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded a definitive contract to Nederlandse Organisatie Voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek TNO on March 23, 2023, with a ceiling value of $4 million to investigate behavioral responses in killer whales exposed to continuously active sonar (CAS) versus traditional passive acoustic signals (PAS) through dose escalation experiments. The contract carries no set-aside and is firm fixed-price.

Place of performance is Norway. The originating solicitation, posted September 2, 2020, sought proposals under the Living Marine Resources Program for marine research including measurement of acoustic propagation, standardization of auditory evoked potential hearing thresholds, and investigation of relationships between perceived loudness and signal length. The ultimate completion date is December 31, 2027, with an in-progress review (IPR) planned for 2027. NAICS codes 541715 and 541712 apply.

Description

The objective of this project is to investigate if exposure to CAS leads to different types or severity of behavioral responses than exposure to traditional PAS signals in killer whales by doing dose escalation CAS and PAS exposures.
