About this award
This is a $971,374.00 definitive contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to Oregon State University (OSU) on September 27, 2017 for a project titled "Incorporating Photoperiodism in Insect Phenology Models with Application for Biological Control of Weeds on Department of Defense Lands." The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
OSU, a public land-grant university, is serving as the prime contractor and will be conducting research on the northern tamarisk beetle (Diorhabda carinulata) to characterize phenology traits associated with its survival and efficacy as a biological control agent against tamarisk, an invasive weed found on Department of Defense lands. The research involves collecting and culturing beetle populations from various latitudes and elevations, including two collection sites on U.S. Army lands. OSU has subcontracted a portion of the work to the Colorado Department of Agriculture, which has expertise in agricultural pest management and regulatory services.
This contract appears to be part of the Department of Defense's efforts to utilize biological control methods to manage invasive plant species on its lands. OSU's expertise in entomology, ecology, and natural resource management makes it a suitable partner for this applied research project.
