(ESI), a Woman-Owned Small Business, for biological investigation services in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The $1.7 million single-award contract has a period of performance from July 2016 to July 2021. Under this IDC, ESI has been issued numerous firm-fixed price and labor-hour delivery orders to conduct various natural resource and environmental services, including mussel surveys, bat surveys, acoustic analyses, and habitat evaluations at locations across the Upper Mississippi region. The contracted work supports the Army Corps' mission of managing water resources, protecting wildlife, and maintaining federal waterways and infrastructure. As a woman-owned small business with extensive experience providing these environmental consulting services to federal agencies, ESI is well-positioned to efficiently deliver the required field surveys, monitoring, data analysis, and reporting under the IDC.

The delivery orders issued to date cover a variety of tasks such as endangered species surveys for bats and mussels, acoustic monitoring, habitat assessments, and archeological investigations. These services help the Army Corps comply with environmental regulations, support infrastructure projects, and inform land management decisions within the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The IDC contract provides the agency with flexible access to ESI's specialized expertise in these areas through the streamlined delivery order process.
