The contract, executed without a set-aside designation on September 12, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of September 4, 2024, specifies performance in Monterey, California. MBARI, a tax-exempt nonprofit oceanographic research center based in Moss Landing, California, leverages its deep-sea exploration capabilities and autonomous underwater vehicle technology to support federal marine science missions.
This purchase order reflects MBARI's specialized expertise in complex maritime recovery operations and demonstrates the institution's capacity to execute technical projects for naval agencies. The award is one of several federal contract vehicles held by MBARI, which has secured approximately $897.7K in prime contract awards and maintains a substantial grant portfolio exceeding $20.1M in federal funding from agencies including the National Science Foundation, NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Office of Naval Research. These investments support MBARI's core mission of ocean observation, autonomous platform development, and marine environmental research supporting national defense and civilian ocean science priorities.
