Aquatic Informatics ULC

Aquatic Informatics ULC, a Canadian software company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, supplies water data management software-as-a-service (AQUARIUS platform) and custom development services to federal water resource agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis. The vendor is a for-profit subchapter S corporation and a wholly owned child of Veralto Corporation, a U.S.-domiciled parent. Aquatic Informatics operates with no SBA designations across its federal footprint and competes exclusively in unrestricted procurements.

Aquatic Informatics' federal capability centers on the AQUARIUS software platform, a commercial off-the-shelf water data management system deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bureau of Reclamation, the National Park Service, and other Department of the Interior agencies for hydrologic data acquisition, processing, analysis, and dissemination. Work delivered includes software licenses, maintenance and support services, custom software development, data migration, reporting, training, and web portal enhancements. Recent representative task orders under the core USGS contract include a $6.7 million delivery order for Advanced System Implementation Program work through June 2031 (Task Order 16, awarded April 2026), a $1.25 million AQUARIUS support task order through June 2026 (Task Order 11, awarded April 2025), and a $724 thousand AQUARIUS Time Series support and maintenance task order through March 2026 (Task Order 12, awarded March 2025). Purchase orders and smaller task orders cover annual maintenance fees, software upgrades, and targeted enhancements across Interior Department field offices and regional components.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 82 awards with $98.5 million in combined potential value, representing 95% of the total contract value across all customers and 73% of total award count. The top five customers by count account for 73% of all awards but only 99% of total value, reflecting the USGS dominance. The International Boundary and Water Commission U.S.-Mexico, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the National Park Service form a secondary tier of Interior Department buyers. Aquatic Informatics served 22 distinct federal customer agencies but derives nearly all revenue from a single procurement structure within USGS.

Vehicle position centers on three indefinite delivery contracts. The largest is a single-award $39.6 million IDV (contract 140G0123D0005, awarded April 2023, running through April 2033) with USGS for AQUARIUS software products and custom applications; 16 task orders under this vehicle carry $14.6 million in combined potential value. Two older IDVs, ING16PC00037 and ING12PC00044, have issued 47 and 14 task orders respectively, carrying $13.7 million and $7 million in combined potential value. The 2023 USGS IDV is effectively sole-source — Aquatic Informatics is the sole awardee — and task orders issued under it have historically ranged from approximately $10 thousand to over $1.2 million, reflecting flexible ordering for varying water data management requirements.

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor received 13 awards in 2022, declining to 4 awards in 2026 through mid-July. This contraction is partially offset by high dollar magnitude on individual task orders under the core USGS vehicle. Nine awards (combined potential value $2.8 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest near-term recompete exposure for the vendor.

Aquatic Informatics holds no subcontract positions in the source data; 100% of the award footprint is prime contractor work. The vendor operates exclusively as a software product and services provider rather than as a systems integrator or prime contractor to other primes.

AQUARIUS software has been in federal use for approximately two decades. The vendor registered in SAM.gov in 2005 and has maintained a continuous contract relationship with USGS and other Interior Department offices since then. Recent awards demonstrate sustained demand for water data management infrastructure, but the award volume trajectory reflects mature, order-as-needed consumption under existing vehicles rather than new competitive wins.
