The contract was awarded under a Broad Agency Announcement solicitation that sought research and development proposals across multiple scientific and engineering disciplines, including hydraulics, coastal engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental science, computer science, cybersecurity, infrastructure management, and geospatial technologies. Work will be performed at ERDC's Vicksburg, Mississippi location. This contract award carries no small business set-aside designation.

The ERDC's Broad Agency Announcement encourages participation from small businesses and diverse business categories while supporting the Department of Defense's research objectives through work spanning fundamental and applied research initiatives across the agency's multiple laboratory locations nationwide.
