About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded Task Order 0003 to The Whale Museum, a nonprofit organization based in Friday Harbor, Washington, on September 1, 2025. Valued at $168,312.26 under a firm fixed-price delivery order contract, this task order funds critical marine mammal conservation and research activities through August 31, 2026. The work encompasses maintaining the Killer Whale Sighting Database, conducting vessel activity monitoring in the Puget Sound region, delivering the Soundwatch boater education program, supporting field studies on killer whale health and foraging ecology, operating a hydrophone network for whale detection, and developing acoustic outreach initiatives. No set-aside designation was used for this award.
This task order is issued under a larger Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract that NOAA awarded to The Whale Museum in September 2023, which carries a ceiling value of $1.735 million through September 2028. The Whale Museum's long-standing partnership with NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service reflects the agency's commitment to protecting endangered Southern Resident killer whales, a population of significant conservation concern in the Pacific Northwest. Through this federal funding, the museum continues to serve as a critical partner in NOAA's marine mammal research and conservation initiatives while providing essential education and monitoring services to support species recovery efforts.
