About this award
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service awarded a purchase order to Wildlife Computers, Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned small business, for dolphin salinity tags valued at $432,280 on September 30, 2025. The total small business set-aside order carries a time-and-materials pricing structure and an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2028.
Place of performance is Redmond, Washington. The tags are engineered to monitor bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, measuring conductivity and salinity to assess dolphin health and behavior in response to freshwater influx from the Mid-Barataria Mississippi River Sediment Diversion project. The procurement originated from a pre-solicitation market research notice issued July 16, 2025, requiring capability statements addressing technical specifications including +/- 1.0 to 2.0 PSU accuracy across a 0-40 PSU range, single-pin finmount design at approximately 90 grams or less, and 130-day battery life with Argos satellite transmission. The three-year effort calls for prototype development and production of 16 prototype tags in three versions plus 10 final deployment tags.
