About the company
Loggerhead Instruments Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of advanced acoustic monitoring and sensing equipment based in Sarasota, Florida, operates as a prime contractor and grant recipient on federal science and defense programs, competing exclusively in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements. The vendor manufactures specialized underwater acoustic recorders, passive acoustic monitoring systems, and AI-enabled environmental sensing hardware for marine research, wildlife observation, and naval applications.
The company's recent federal footprint spans 25 prime awards across contract and grant channels with a combined potential value of $672 thousand and combined obligated dollars of $3.8 million. Activity has been episodic rather than sustained — averaging fewer than one award per year across the past five years — with recent wins in 2024, 2025, and 2026 concentrated in acoustic instrumentation and real-time passive acoustic monitoring systems. Loggerhead Instruments competes under primary NAICS codes 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing) and codes for professional equipment wholesaling and navigation system manufacturing; the vendor is categorized under PSC codes for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies and Underwater Sound Equipment.
Customer concentration is fragmented across twelve federal agencies, with the top five accounting for 68% of awards. The Department of the Navy dominates both volume and dollars: Naval Sea Systems Command placed four awards ($94 thousand combined potential value) including a $48.794 thousand sole-source purchase order in March 2025 for two LS1X-AL acoustic recorders supporting the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport's Soundscapes Lab; the Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research placed four awards ($131 thousand combined potential value) for advanced acoustic research. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency anchors the highest single-award value at $320 thousand for AI-driven acoustic receiver systems. The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration placed four awards ($36 thousand combined potential value) including a grant recipient award dated August 1, 2024 for passive acoustic recording systems on underwater vehicles. The National Science Foundation and Smithsonian Institution round out the active set. Notably, obligated dollars ($3.8 million) substantially exceed potential value ($672 thousand), indicating either contract modifications or a lagged reporting cycle in the source data.
Loggerhead Instruments' grant footprint includes three federal grants as prime recipient: a NOAA project grant (August 2024) for developing POGO, a low-cost underwater vehicle for passive acoustic recording with AI-driven signal detection and cloud-based data management targeting fisheries mapping and marine mammal detection; a Department of Energy Office of Science project grant ($206.5 thousand, July 2024) for integrated marine buoys supporting real-time passive acoustic monitoring of birds, bats, and whales using neural networks; and an NSF Small Business Innovation Research Phase II cooperative agreement (March 2022) for building a nature monitoring network for birds, focused on edge-deployed birdsong detection hardware and algorithms. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not sit on government-wide vehicles or agency-wide IDIQs.
