About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $24.3K firm fixed-price purchase order to Biospherical Instruments, Inc., a San Diego-based small business specializing in advanced optical instrumentation for environmental monitoring. The contract covers the delivery of seven underwater Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR) sensors for deployment at NOAA's long-term mooring sites in the Bering Sea as part of the Ecosystem & Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations program. This sole-source procurement was executed without competitive bidding under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) based on compatibility requirements with existing NOAA systems, with a required delivery date of September 30, 2025 and ultimate contract completion by November 3, 2025.
The sensors will support critical oceanographic research in the Bering Sea region, which supplies over 40% of U.S. commercial seafood. The PAR sensors are designed to collect high-resolution underwater light data over 6-12 month deployments to measure seasonal phytoplankton productivity and ecosystem responses to changing light conditions. Biospherical Instruments was determined to be uniquely qualified to fulfill this requirement due to the necessity for complete compatibility in form, fit, and function with NOAA's existing EcoFOCI mooring hardware, data loggers, and post-processing workflows to maintain consistency with ongoing long-term oceanographic time series data collection.
