About the company
Plymouth Marine Laboratory Financial Services Division, a United Kingdom-based nonprofit research institution, provides specialized marine and ocean ecosystem modeling services to federal agencies on a prime-contract basis. The division operates exclusively in full-and-open, non-set-aside federal procurements, with all six recent awards structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders from two customer agencies.
Plymouth Marine Laboratory's customer concentration is heavily concentrated in oceanographic and environmental research. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) accounts for five of six recent awards totaling $520 thousand in combined potential value, with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center placing one order valued at $25 thousand — representing 100% of the vendor's documented federal prime footprint. NOAA's work spans multiple specialized marine science domains: advanced ecosystem modeling linked to the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) to support harmful algal bloom and hypoxia management in the Great Lakes, including the Lake Erie FVCOM-ERSEM implementation ($100 thousand award, September 2023; extended December 2024 for $99,994 with completion March 2026); Dynamic Energy Budget modeling of snow crab energetics under projected ocean acidification and temperature changes in the Bering Sea ($21,666, September 2024); and Lake Erie FVCOM-ERSEM Phase 4 modeling ($227,999, September 2026). NASA procured a specialized solar-tracking radiometry platform using TriOS RAMSES radiometers to collect full-spectrum light intensity measurements for the Plankton, Atmosphere, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite program ($25,118, May 2025).
All awards to Plymouth Marine Laboratory have been awarded on a sole-source basis, with NOAA and NASA explicitly citing the vendor's unique technical capability and specialized expertise as the rationale. Work is performed at Plymouth Marine Laboratory's facilities in Great Britain, United Kingdom. Activity is sparse but consistent — one award annually in 2021 and 2023, two in 2024, and one each in 2025 and 2026 — with combined obligated dollars totaling $545 thousand. One award (the NOAA Lake Erie Phase 4 work, $227,999) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure.
