About this IDV
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) awarded a $65 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Kearns & West Inc., a San Francisco-based strategic communications and facilitation firm, effective April 10, 2024, through April 9, 2027. This indefinite delivery vehicle procures facilitation, outreach, and other support services to advance BOEM's renewable energy programs, marine minerals initiatives, and environmental planning efforts. The agreement was awarded on an unrestricted basis with no set-aside designation, enabling BOEM to issue individual task orders for specialized facilitation, mediation, stakeholder engagement, and strategic communication services as needed to support complex offshore energy planning and natural resource management initiatives. The contract parent vehicle is classified under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule, positioning Kearns & West as a core service provider for BOEM's collaborative problem-solving and public participation requirements.
Two substantive task orders issued under this BPA demonstrate the agreement's application to BOEM's operational priorities. The primary active task order, awarded September 8, 2025, valued at approximately $3.13 million on a time-and-materials basis, provides public involvement planning, outreach, and facilitation services for the 11th National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program Development Project, with performance through September 7, 2029. A secondary task order issued August 26, 2024, valued at $92,748.81 on a firm fixed-price basis, supported visualization and engagement efforts related to the Shinnecock Nations but was subsequently terminated for government convenience via modification. Both task orders are performed from Kearns & West's San Francisco, California facility. The BPA structure allows BOEM to leverage Kearns & West's expertise in third-party facilitation and environmental impact assessment support to manage stakeholder involvement and coordinate collaborative approaches across multiple offshore energy and marine resource management initiatives.
