This is not a solicitation, nor does it guarantee a solicitation will be issued. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. This is not a request for proposals and it does not obligate the government in any manner.BackgroundThe NOAA Fisheries Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) plans, develops, and manages a multidisciplinary program of basic and applied research. NOAA Fisheries is responsible for the conservation and recovery of endangered large whale species, whose populations were depleted by commercial whaling.Satellite telemetry has proven to be a key method for studying the movements and spatial ecology of whales, including their critical habitats and overlap with human activities; therefore, satellite telemetry is an important tool in the conservation and management toolbox. For baleen whale species, long-term tracking is typically only achieved through the use of devices with anchoring systems and electronic packages embedded in the body of the animal. These tags, now referred to as “consolidated” (or Type-C) tags are designed to anchor in the blubber or beneath the blubber-muscle interface via various types of retention barbs, plates or petals. Despite the clear benefits of satellite tagging to improve research and conservation of cetaceans, there are still concerns regarding possible adverse health effects on tagged whales.In recent years, NMFS and the Office of Naval Research have supported the improvement of consolidated satellite tags, including the development of a miniaturized “blubber” tag for large whales, which was anticipated to minimize the health impacts associated with implantable tags. These tags have now been tested on Southern right whales, but have not been tested on any Northern Hemisphere species to date. Additionally, there are few experts operating in North Atlant...
