About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries Alaska Region awarded a $99.5K firm fixed-price purchase order to Aqua Wildlife Research (operated by Tamara Mcguire) on October 1, 2025, to support professional scientific services for a Cook Inlet Beluga Whale Photo-Identification Study. This total small business set-aside contract, set to conclude September 30, 2027, will leverage non-invasive photo-identification techniques to address critical data gaps regarding individual and population characteristics of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale population. The work will be performed in Juneau, Alaska, and falls under NOAA's broader marine mammal research and conservation mission in Cook Inlet waters.
Under the two-year contract structure, Aqua Wildlife Research will conduct a minimum of 14 photo-identification surveys, incorporate collected photographs into an existing identification catalog, and perform comprehensive data analysis examining spatial and temporal patterns, survival rates, reproduction, and human interactions. The first contract year focuses on field season data collection, while year two emphasizes documentation, analysis, and report production. The contractor, certified as a women-owned small business, will deliver scientific reports and analytical findings to support NOAA's understanding of beluga whale population demographics and habitat use, with travel expenses capped at $5,000 across the entire contract period.
