About this award
The University of Southern Mississippi was awarded a $440,998 firm fixed-price definitive contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Civil Works) on September 1, 2022, to develop and implement a coupled modeling framework to evaluate the impacts of Bonnet Carré Spillway openings on the Mississippi Sound and Bight region. The project, funded under Broad Agency Announcement 21-0039, will assess how freshwater and nutrient inputs from spillway operations affect water quality, food webs, and fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico coastal environment. The work will be performed at the University of Southern Mississippi's Hattiesburg, Mississippi campus, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. This is a non-set-aside contract utilizing firm fixed-price pricing for the research and analytical services to be delivered.
This contract aligns with the Corps of Engineers' broader mission to manage water resources and assess environmental impacts of infrastructure operations, particularly in sensitive coastal and estuarine ecosystems. The University of Southern Mississippi's Office of Research Administration has demonstrated significant expertise in marine research, environmental monitoring, and complex scientific modeling through its established portfolio of federal research awards and contracts with agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Office of Naval Research. The modeling framework developed under this contract will provide critical scientific insights to inform management decisions regarding spillway operations and their ecological consequences in one of the nation's most economically important fisheries regions.
