About the company
Oceans Design Inc., a Colorado-based small business manufacturer of aquaculture equipment and systems, operates as a prime contractor selling specialized water treatment, thermal management, and holding-tank systems to federal research agencies exclusively under small-business set-asides. The company competes entirely on firm-fixed-price purchase orders, with 100% of its recent awards (28 total, all primes) designated as Total Small Business set-asides or competed on a small-business-restricted basis under FAR Parts 12 and 13.
Oceans Design Inc.'s capability portfolio centers on engineered aquaculture infrastructure: water chillers and heat pumps (nominal capacities ranging from 1.5 to 10 tons with marine-duty specifications), recirculating system components, seawater filtration and UV sterilization units, fiberglass-reinforced plastic holding and sump tanks, fish feeders, and field service (assessment, troubleshooting, repair, calibration, and operational training). Recent awards exemplify this range: a $76,837 Total Small Business contract from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (March 2026) for a seawater filter and UV sterilization system serving NOAA's Auke Bay Laboratory in Juneau, Alaska, with 120 GPM continuous flow and three-stage mechanical filtration plus UV sterilization capability; a $169,977.54 USGS order (August 2024) for nine assorted Aqualogic heat pumps; a $39,971 firm-fixed-price purchase order from USDA's Agricultural Research Service (September 2026) for three 4-ton water chillers with 48,000 BTU/hr nominal cooling capacity, 460V three-phase power, and PVC construction with titanium coil, delivered with Made in America compliance and one-year warranty.
Customer concentration clusters at two agencies, covering 86% of recent awards by count and 92% by potential value. NOAA leads with 13 awards totaling $543 thousand, spanning wet lab tanks, water chillers, sump tanks for experimental reef laboratories, and maintenance training. USGS's Office of Acquisitions and Grants holds 6 awards valued at $431 thousand, primarily for marine-duty heat pumps and cold-water aquaculture tank systems. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service accounts for 3 to 4 additional awards (totaling approximately $115 thousand) for specialized chillers and feeders supporting federal fish hatchery operations at Lyons Ferry, Lamar, and related regional facilities. USDA and other agencies round out the remainder. Awards are small, transactional, and dominated by purchase-order mechanics with 60- to 180-day delivery windows.
Activity accelerated in 2024 and 2025, declining slightly in 2026, with one award (valued at $40 thousand to USDA) facing recompete within the next twenty-four months. The company has not held any parent vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs) and does not engage in subcontracting relationships — all 28 awards are prime delivery contracts. Oceans Design Inc. operates exclusively as a vendor of manufactured goods and field services for federal aquatic research and conservation facilities, with no involvement in broader federal IT, engineering, or defense supply chains beyond the niche of specialized aquaculture thermal and containment systems.
