About this award
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) awarded a $1.0M firm-fixed-price contract to Tulane University on September 30, 2024, to demonstrate a biodegradable foam delivery system for applying hydrogen peroxide-based algaecide to treat harmful cyanobacteria blooms (Microcystis sp.) on Lake Okeechobee. This award emerged from a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) solicitation posted in April 2024, through which ERDC sought innovative commercial solutions for scalable freshwater harmful algal bloom (HAB) prevention, detection, and management. The CSO competition had a total funding pool of $4.5M across up to five awards, with no set-aside designation. Work will be performed in Vicksburg, Mississippi, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027, representing a three-year demonstration period.
Tulane University, a private non-profit research institution with extensive federal contracting experience, is well-positioned to execute this effort given its established capabilities in environmental science, biomedical research, and advanced laboratory infrastructure. The university's track record includes significant research contracts with agencies including the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Defense, as well as a $146.3M Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. This HAB treatment demonstration aligns with ERDC's mandate to develop solutions for protecting water resource development projects and freshwater systems nationwide, addressing a critical environmental and public health challenge.
