About this award
The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $249,954 firm fixed-price contract to Lake Superior State University (LSSU) to conduct research, development, testing, and evaluation of oil spill response knowledge, techniques, and tactics in freshwater and icy water environments. This award, announced on January 6, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 5, 2026, stems from the Coast Guard's Great Lakes Oil Spill Center of Expertise pre-solicitation notice issued in October 2023. The contract supports the Coast Guard's mission to enhance oil spill preparedness and response capabilities by advancing research in key technical areas such as detection of submerged oil, in situ oil sensors, characterization of non-conventional oils, boom and skimmer advancement, and alternative response measures. No set-aside designation was used in this competitive procurement.
LSSU, a state-controlled educational institution based in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, brings specialized expertise in freshwater ecosystem research and environmental studies, particularly relevant to Great Lakes regional concerns. The university has established a strategic partnership with the Coast Guard through multiple contract vehicles, including a Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $157,278 that facilitates internship and research programs. Work will be performed in Houghton, Michigan, leveraging the university's proximity to and familiarity with freshwater and icy water environments critical to the research objectives.
