Biological Natural and Cultural Resources Management

Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded this Master IDIQ on July 17, 2013, but ordering closed on July 16, 2018 — this vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders. Over its five-year active period, the vehicle generated 99 task orders totaling $70.7 million in combined potential value, with $70.4 million obligated (100 percent of the ceiling).

The work covers biological, natural, and cultural resources management and compliance services across Navy installations. Task orders show heavy concentration in threatened and endangered species surveys, habitat restoration and monitoring, wetland delineation and restoration, invasive species management, forest inventory, and specialized environmental assessments such as hydrodynamic flow modeling and sedimentation studies. Recent orders addressed post-hurricane restoration at Marine Corps installations, coconut rhinoceros beetle trap monitoring in Hawaii and the Pacific, and long-duration monitoring programs for species including the desert tortoise at Twentynine Palms (a $35.3 million order awarded in 2015).

Competition is dominated by a small set of awardees. Tetra TECH Inc. holds 54 of 99 orders worth $51.6 million combined potential value—roughly 73 percent of the vehicle's volume. Geo-Marine and AECOM as a joint venture account for 33 orders and $16 million. Ch2M Hill, Inc. holds the remaining 12 orders and $3.1 million. All 99 orders are unrestricted (no set-aside).

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to Naval Facilities Engineering Command (38 orders, $47.6 million), which procures on behalf of Navy shore installations. Navy Installations Command placed 33 orders worth $11.1 million; the U.S. Marine Corps placed 27 orders worth $11.6 million; and Naval Sea Systems Command placed one order for $400 thousand. Task order values range from under $20 thousand to $35.3 million, with typical orders in the $100 thousand to $500 thousand band. Work is performed at Navy and Marine Corps installations worldwide, including overseas locations such as Guantanamo Bay, Souda Bay (Greece), and Camp Lemonnier.
