SOFAR OCEAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

SOFAR OCEAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. specializes in the design, deployment, and data integration of autonomous ocean sensing systems for environmental monitoring and maritime domain awareness. The company develops and manufactures ruggedized, satellite-connected ocean sensors and embedded instrumentation that collect real-time oceanographic data—including wave height, sea surface temperature, and current velocity—while enabling remote telemetry via Iridium and cellular networks. Their technical expertise spans embedded systems engineering, low-power wireless communication, oceanographic data modeling, and distributed sensor network architecture, with a focus on open connectivity standards for interoperable ocean observation platforms. A key differentiator is their ability to fuse hardware deployment with predictive analytics, supporting operational forecasting for marine weather and climate resilience. The contractor has established consistent relationships with the Department of Defense, the Department of the Interior, and the Department of Commerce, delivering ocean sensing systems for naval operations, coastal resource management, and national buoy network modernization. For DoD, they support advanced maritime surveillance and autonomous platform integration; for Interior and Commerce, they provide critical data infrastructure for the National Data Buoy Center and other marine observation programs. Their primary industry focus is in physical and engineering research (NAICS 541715) and the manufacturing of precision measuring and control devices (NAICS 334519 and 334511), positioning them at the intersection of oceanographic instrumentation and computational infrastructure for environmental data systems. They operate as a small business based in San Francisco, CA, with no federal certifications on record, and maintain a technical footprint centered on marine sensor innovation and edge data processing for remote, high-latency environments.
