Environmental Sensor Equipment Procurement

The contract seeks the supply of marine-grade environmental sensors designed to measure temperature, salinity, and depth, specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with lobster traps and trawl gear deployed on commercial fishing vessels. These sensors must withstand harsh oceanic conditions, including high pressure, saltwater corrosion, and prolonged submersion, while delivering accurate, reliable data for environmental monitoring and fisheries management. The equipment must be durable, minimally disruptive to fishing operations, and compatible with existing vessel infrastructure and data collection systems. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, part of the Department of Commerce, with a response deadline of July 10, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 334510 indicates the requirement falls under manufacturing of measuring and controlling instruments. Performance is expected to occur in Woods Hole, a key center for marine science and fisheries research. While no set-aside provisions or point of contact details are provided, interested parties must meet the technical specifications and delivery timelines to qualify for award.
