The Biological and Ecological Studies Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle established by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Northwestern Division to provide comprehensive scientific and technical services focused on biological and ecological studies. The contract supports research and analysis of fish, birds, and other organisms, encompassing activities such as literature reviews, study planning, experimental design, field research, data collection, analysis, and management. With a shared ceiling of $40 million and a period of performance through September 2024, the vehicle enables the Corps to rapidly acquire specialized ecological and biological research services across its Portland, Walla Walla, and Seattle Districts.

Task orders under this MATOC consistently involve fisheries and wildlife monitoring, with values ranging from $5,000 minimum guarantee contracts to multi-million dollar comprehensive studies. Recurring prime contractors include S.P. Cramer & Associates (Cramer Fish Sciences), Environmental Assessment Services, Four Peaks Environmental Science & Data Solutions, and Real Time Research, who primarily perform rotary screw trap sampling, spawning surveys, predation rate analyses, and habitat monitoring. Many task orders are set aside for small businesses, with common performance locations in Oregon and Washington. Typical task order values range from approximately $25,000 to $14 million, with durations spanning several months to multiple years. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers remains the primary funding agency, leveraging these contracts to support environmental monitoring, fish population assessment, and water resources management programs.
