About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command has awarded a research contract to the University of California, Santa Cruz for a scientific study examining California sea lion movements and foraging behavior in the Channel Islands, with a specific focus on their behavioral responses to experimental naval sonar. The contract, identified as N3943025C2005, was awarded on March 6, 2025, with a total value of $1,988,061.00 following a competitive Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) process. The research was selected through a two-phase evaluation process that considered technical merit, importance to agency programs, and fund availability, as outlined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 35.016(e). The contract stems from the pre-proposal submission for topic N-0291-24, Pinniped Behavioral Response Study, and represents a targeted research effort to understand marine mammal interactions with naval acoustic technologies.
