About the company
Aquatic Sensors, Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Asian-Pacific American-owned firm based in Redwood City, California, manufactures and supplies specialized aquatic environmental monitoring instruments to federal agencies as a prime contractor. The company operates exclusively on purchase orders and has not yet secured IDVs, GWACs, or parent contract vehicles; all ten recent federal awards are prime buys under full-and-open or small business set-aside competition, with no subcontract footprint.
Aquatic Sensors' capability portfolio centers on wet-chemistry sensors, fluorometry systems, and imaging instrumentation for water-quality monitoring and ecological research. Representative work includes a $85.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) for ClearWater Sensors phosphate sensors to support harmful algal bloom prediction modeling on the Great Lakes; a $61.6 thousand purchase order from the NASA Shared Services Center for one active fluorometer instrument with spare kits and three years of factory service; a $33.4 thousand total-small-business purchase order from USGS for a comprehensive Aquatic Imager 4K camera system (equipped with plankton enumeration software, dual-power design, and flow-meter capability) delivered to the Great Lakes Science Center; and a $49.9 thousand purchase order from EPA Region 5 for a Laboratory Single-Turnover Active Fluorometer (LabStaf) deployed aboard the EPA research vessel Lake Guardian.
Customer concentration aligns tightly with environmental research missions. NOAA accounts for five awards worth $249 thousand combined potential value; USGS accounts for three awards worth $96 thousand; the NASA Shared Services Center and EPA Region 5 each account for one award ($62 thousand and $50 thousand respectively). All four customer agencies are repeat buyers, reflecting recurring instrumentation and calibration needs. The vendor competes without set-aside benefit on most awards, though two awards carry total-small-business designations, and holds a sole-source position as the exclusive authorized U.S. distributor for ClearWater Sensors phosphate measurement equipment.
Activity has been episodic — three awards in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, and four in the first two months of 2026 — with combined potential value across all ten awards standing at $457 thousand and $422 thousand obligated (92% execution). The vendor manufactures under NAICS 334513 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) classifications. Aquatic Sensors' federal position remains nascent and specialized; recent growth reflects deepening relationships with NOAA's GLERL programs rather than penetration of broader government markets.
