About the company
Gulf Of Maine Lobster Foundation, Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Kennebunk, Maine, provides environmental monitoring, data collection, and fisheries-oceanography research services to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as a prime contractor and grant recipient. The foundation operates exclusively in the non-profit structure and does not compete under SBA set-asides; all recent awards are full-and-open to the vendor's demonstrated domain expertise and exclusive industry relationships.
The foundation's capability portfolio centers on deploying temperature-depth sensors, micro-computers, and ship-to-shore communication equipment aboard commercial lobster and trawling vessels, then collecting, processing, and transmitting real-time environmental data to NOAA systems. Representative contract work includes a $702,643 definitive contract awarded September 22, 2026, running through September 2031, for Environmental Monitors on Lobster Traps and Large Trawlers (EMOLT) services; a $268,630 purchase order awarded September 13, 2024, for EMOLT data collection and research support through September 12, 2026; and a $231,000 purchase order awarded September 10, 2024, for fixed gear tracking and ghost gear mitigation services through September 9, 2025. A prior $241,000 purchase order from September 2022 for temperature data support was awarded on a sole-source basis, as NOAA determined the foundation to be the only known vendor with the required capabilities and close working relationships with Northeast fisheries associations. On the grant side, the foundation is a cooperative agreement recipient from NOAA (award date October 1, 2022, ultimate completion September 30, 2025) for outfitting dozens of commercial vessels with micro-computers and sensors to provide lobstermen with real-time environmental data and habitat suitability models; the foundation plans to subaward funds for outreach, data assimilation, and graduate student involvement. The foundation also acts as a sub-recipient on a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant (awarded October 3, 2024) to develop logistics for collecting and recycling end-of-life fishing nets from New England fishermen, targeting 280 tons of gear removal to reduce marine bycatch.
Customer concentration is extreme and non-diversified. The Department of Commerce, acting through NOAA, accounts for 23 of 28 total awards (82% of recent activity) and $1.9 million of the $2 million combined potential value. The foundation has no other active federal customer in the source data and does not currently hold seats on government-wide vehicles or agency-wide IDIQs. Recent activity is sparse — one award in 2020, one in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2024, and one in 2026 — reflecting episodic contract and grant cycles rather than sustained pipeline growth. Combined dollars obligated ($5 million) exceed combined potential value ($2 million) by 254%, indicating that prior-year awards have been substantially invoiced and completed.
