The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $163,104 firm-fixed-price purchase order to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) division for a project titled "LARGE WIND WAVE TESTING". The award, which has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2024, does not include any set-aside designations. The University of Miami RSMAS division, doing business as University of Miami Rosenstiel Marine, is a renowned oceanographic research institution that frequently collaborates with federal agencies like NOAA, NASA, and the Department of Defense on scientific research, data analysis, and technical services related to ocean, atmospheric, and climate sciences. The contract work will likely leverage the university's specialized facilities and expertise in these areas.
Additionally, the University of Miami's Tritium Laboratory, a subcontractor to RSMAS, holds an indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) valued at up to $1,128,000 through January 2026 for low-level tritium analysis services. To date, task orders issued under this vehicle have totaled $483,520, supporting the USGS's geological research and coastal management initiatives.
