About Pacific Gyre
Pacific Gyre Inc. is a small business manufacturer located in Oceanside, California, specializing in the production of ocean monitoring and data collection equipment, specifically drifter buoys and marker buoys. Registered in SAM.gov since October 2001, the company is a for-profit, Subchapter S corporation that provides critical scientific instrumentation to federal agencies focused on environmental research and monitoring. The company's primary product line consists of standard drifter data buoys designed to collect oceanographic information such as water temperature, salinity, and current movements.
Throughout its federal contract history, Pacific Gyre has consistently provided ocean drifter buoys to multiple federal agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Coast Guard, and Office of Naval Research. The company's contract awards have ranged from small purchase orders to more substantial delivery orders, with contract values spanning from $1,950 to $168,750. These contracts have been primarily for surface drifting buoys used to validate ocean model data, support cadet research projects, and enhance environmental monitoring capabilities. None of Pacific Gyre's federal contract awards have utilized special set-aside designations, indicating the company competes for contracts based on its technical capabilities and competitive pricing.
Pacific Gyre holds a multiple award indefinite delivery contract (IDIQ) with NOAA valued at $500,000, which runs from March 2022 to March 2027. Under this IDIQ, NOAA has issued multiple delivery orders for standard drifter data buoys, supporting the agency's global ocean and atmospheric monitoring programs. The contract was originally anticipated as a total small business set-aside and allows NOAA to issue task orders for drifter buoys as needed. To date, NOAA has issued several delivery orders under this IDIQ, including a $1,950 order in March 2022, a $166,935 order in August 2023, and a $168,750 order in July 2024, all of which were used to procure standard drifter data buoys for various research and monitoring initiatives.
