About the company
Orca Network, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Freeland, Washington, provides near real-time killer whale sighting data collection, monitoring, and reporting services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, operating under firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders with no set-aside designations. The organization competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements and holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Orca Network's customer base is highly concentrated, with 91% of awards by count and 96% of combined potential value flowing from the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (20 awards, $419 thousand combined potential value), and a single contract from the Department of the Navy's Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($22 thousand). The NOAA relationship spans annual purchase orders for killer whale sighting data collection in the Puget Sound region dating to at least 2019, a five-year Indefinite Delivery Contract (1305M324D0005, ceiling $200,000, running through August 31, 2029), and recurring delivery orders issued under that vehicle. NOAA also awarded Orca Network a $400,000 three-year grant under the Southern Resident Orca Recovery program in 2021 to support education, outreach, and conservation actions for endangered Puget Sound killer whales, and a second NOAA project grant (award date May 1, 2025, completion April 30, 2027) targeting stranded and entangled marine mammal health, stranding response, and public education across the North and Eastern Shorelines of Puget Sound. The Navy purchase order (July 2025, $22 thousand, completion July 31, 2026) required whale sighting reporting to Commander Navy Region Northwest, with place of performance in Silverdale, Washington.
Over the past five years, activity has been sparse and variable: one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and three in 2025. Combined potential value across all 23 recent awards totals $461 thousand, though combined dollars obligated ($1 million) exceed that figure, indicating prior-year obligations on smaller vehicle ceilings. Two awards carrying combined potential value of $24 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure. Orca Network operates exclusively as a prime, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized in marine mammal monitoring and reporting for federal conservation and stewardship initiatives, with work performed primarily in the Freeland, Washington and Puget Sound region.
