The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to Blue World Research Institute Inc., a non-profit organization based in Cocoa, Florida. The contract has a ceiling value of $5,641,827 and a period of performance through May 6, 2025. Under this IDC, BOEM has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to Blue World Research Institute for a range of services supporting the agency's offshore energy management and environmental conservation missions. These services include conducting research and analysis on marine species (such as whales, sea turtles, and sharks), developing predictive models and tools, performing spatial and behavioral ecology studies, and providing technical and communication support for BOEM's ecological programs. In addition to the $5.6 million IDC, Blue World Research Institute holds two other significant IDVs with BOEM: a $20 million single-award contract for ecological research and environmental assessments, and a $785,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement for telemetry and engineering support services. These contracts enable BOEM to flexibly engage Blue World Research Institute's expertise in marine science disciplines to support the agency's environmental stewardship goals related to offshore energy development planning and conservation. The contracted work does not utilize any set-aside designations, reflecting Blue World Research Institute's capabilities as a non-profit research organization.
