Purchase Order HSCGG810PMMS163

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $7,500 purchase order to The Professional Edge (UEI: UXTFT9NC8J99) on March 24, 2010, for co-sponsorship of the International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species. The contract, which was not set aside for small business or other designated categories, was completed by April 23, 2010, with performance in Washington, DC. This modest award reflects the Coast Guard's support for a specialized conference addressing aquatic invasive species, an area aligned with the agency's marine environmental protection and waterway management responsibilities.

The purchase order structure and brief performance timeline indicate this engagement was limited in scope, likely involving financial contribution or sponsorship services rather than a full research or consulting contract. The Coast Guard's participation in this conference supports its broader mission to protect U.S. waters and ports from biological threats and environmental hazards. Additional details regarding the specific deliverables and conference logistics are referenced in the Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition and Agency Order Authorization documentation.
