About this award

NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $50.8K firm fixed-price purchase order to Silvestrum Climate Associates LLC, a Sausalito, California-based small disadvantaged business, to assess NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) blue carbon products within the context of blue economy finance. The contract, awarded on March 31, 2025, with completion by December 31, 2025, was issued without a set-aside designation despite originating from a Total Small Business set-aside solicitation posted on April 1, 2025. Silvestrum, a specialized climate and environmental research firm with demonstrated expertise in carbon monitoring and coastal wetlands analysis, will deliver a comprehensive 30-page report evaluating blue carbon science, financing mechanisms, and the CMS program's contributions to understanding global carbon cycles and remote sensing technologies.

The contractor's deliverables will include a detailed technical report and a briefing note for senior management and policymakers, with completion targeted for Q4 2025. The engagement will incorporate targeted interviews with CMS project Principal Investigators during the NASA CMS meeting scheduled for September 2025. This contract builds on Silvestrum's established track record supporting federal environmental research initiatives, including prior work with NOAA and NASA on carbon flux analysis, coastal wetlands reporting, and greenhouse gas inventory development. The assessment supports NASA's broader Climate Monitoring System program, which plays a critical role in advancing scientific understanding of carbon ecosystems and their potential contributions to sustainable development and blue economy initiatives.
