About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Innovasea Marine Systems Canada Inc. Innovasea Division, doing business as Vemco, manufactures and sells acoustic telemetry equipment—receivers, transmitters, sensor tags, acoustic release systems, and related accessories—to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open procurements, with no subcontract footprint in the recent award record. The vendor is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada, with performance locations in Ottawa, Ontario and Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia. Vemco does not compete under set-aside categories; all 269 recent awards reflect competitive or sole-source full-and-open procurement, the latter justified by the vendor's proprietary acoustic telemetry platform and lack of interchangeable alternatives in the federal marketplace.

Vemco's capability portfolio centers on proprietary 69 kHz acoustic telemetry systems for fish tracking, migration monitoring, and species-specific research. The vendor manufactures and supplies coded acoustic receivers (VR2AR, VR2W, VR2TX, HR2, NexTrak R-1 models), acoustic transmitters in multiple frequency and case configurations (V5, V7, V9, V13, V16 series with predation-detection variants), and specialized mooring recovery and acoustic release systems (VR100 transponding hydrophones, VR2AR acoustic releases, BARC recovery systems, and motor release batteries). Recent representative work includes a $608,535 May 2024 sole-source purchase order from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 for receivers and transmitters supporting the Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System (GLATOS); a $480,126 March 2022 USGS contract for underwater acoustic equipment; and a $339,680 February 2023 USGS order for acoustic telemetry transmitters. Vemco holds a $5 million indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with NOAA (1305M320DNFFP0064, running through August 2025) under which 51 task orders have been placed worth $2.3 million combined potential value.

Customer concentration is extreme. NOAA accounts for 110 awards and $10.7 million (47% of combined potential value); USGS accounts for 46 awards and $4.8 million (21%); and DOI Fish and Wildlife Service entities (consolidated across headquarters, Region 5, and Region 7) account for 42 awards and approximately $3.1 million (14%). Together these three customer clusters represent 74% of all awards and 83% of combined potential value. The remainder is distributed across the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (11 awards, $929 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command, Office of Naval Research, Smithsonian Institution, and the National Park Service. All awards are structured as purchase orders or delivery orders; the single sub-award on record (March 2025, HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction, Inc., for marine species monitoring program management) represents 0.4% of the footprint.

Award activity has remained stable to moderately declining: 32 awards in 2022, 38 in 2023, 33 in 2024, 19 in 2025, and 24 in 2026. Ten awards worth $1.3 million in combined potential value have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated in NOAA (majority of IDIQ draw-down) and USGS routine procurement cycles. The vendor's parent entity is Innovasea Systems Inc., also a for-profit manufacturer of goods; Vemco operates as the division name under which federal contracting is conducted. No federal grant prime awards or recipients are identified in the source; the vendor's footprint is contract-only, with all work performed as proprietary goods manufacture or delivery order fulfillment under existing IDIQ vehicles.
