About this award
The National Park Service at Channel Islands National Park awarded a $140,330.40 firm-fixed-price purchase order to Conservation Metrics, Inc., a small business specializing in wildlife monitoring and acoustic analysis. Under this Total Small Business Set-Aside contract, Conservation Metrics will provide seabird acoustic monitoring services from August 11, 2025, through December 31, 2029, focusing on the design of Acoustic Recording Unit (ARU) sensor deployment and analysis of 500 ARU detector months. The work involves developing machine learning models for species detection of crevice-nesting seabirds including Ashy Storm Petrels, Scripps's Murrelets, and Cassin's Auklets, utilizing 2–25 SongMeter4 ARUs deployed annually across the park's five islands. Conservation Metrics, based in Santa Cruz, California, brings substantial expertise in applying advanced technological solutions to wildlife conservation challenges across federal agencies.
The contract includes a phased approach beginning with a pilot phase in 2025, followed by inventory phases in 2026–2027, and monitoring phases in 2028–2029, with performance conducted in Ventura County, California. This modification ensures compliance with updated federal guidance, eliminates non-statutory sustainability requirements, and enhances representational and certification clauses. Conservation Metrics will deliver annual summary reports with recommendations to improve program efficiency, leveraging its established track record with the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and the Department of the Interior on comparable acoustic monitoring and ecological research projects.
