About this opportunity
NOAA Fisheries has awarded a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to The Woods Hole Group, Inc. for Argos platform and data transmission services valued at $6.5 million. The contract, numbered 1305M325D0003 and awarded on August 21, 2025, provides satellite telemetry data collection services for tracking marine mammal species and sea turtles over a five-year ordering period from August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2030. The services are essential for NOAA's implementation of environmental protection legislation including the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act. The sole source award was justified based on The Woods Hole Group being a subsidiary of Collected Localization Satellites (CLS), the only authorized provider of integrated ARGOS satellite services in the United States since 1986, and the existing wildlife tracking equipment being already configured with Argos beacons.
