About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a delivery order valued at $100,087.95 to The Whale Museum, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Friday Harbor, Washington, for whale research services. This contract, which commenced on July 27, 2022 and concluded on August 31, 2023, was awarded on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside designation. The Whale Museum, which specializes in killer whale research and monitoring with particular focus on the endangered Southern Resident killer whale population in the Puget Sound region, serves as a critical federal partner supporting NOAA's marine mammal protection and recovery objectives.
This delivery order was issued under a larger indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $1.735 million with a performance period extending through September 6, 2028. The parent IDIQ contract encompasses comprehensive killer whale research and conservation services, including maintenance of the Killer Whale Sighting Database, vessel activity monitoring, operation of a hydrophone acoustic detection network, the Soundwatch boater education program, and support for field studies on killer whale health and foraging ecology. Through this IDIQ framework, NOAA has leveraged The Whale Museum's specialized expertise to implement integrated monitoring and outreach initiatives designed to protect Southern Resident killer whales while promoting compliance with marine mammal protection regulations in the Pacific Northwest.
