Biological Natural and Cultural Resources Management

The Biological Natural and Cultural Resources Management Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle designed to provide comprehensive environmental and natural resource management services to the U.S. Navy. The contract encompasses a wide range of specialized services including biological monitoring, natural resource surveys, species protection, habitat assessment, environmental compliance, and planning support. Services under this vehicle span critical areas such as wildlife and habitat analysis, rare and endangered species surveys, wetland and watershed assessments, archaeological investigations, remote sensing, invasive species management, and environmental restoration planning.

Task orders under this vehicle are predominantly awarded to environmental consulting and technical services firms like Tetra Tech, Geo-Marine, AECOM, and Ch2M Hill, with contract values typically ranging from $30,000 to $2.7 million and performance periods between six months to three years. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) is the primary funding agency, with task orders frequently supporting military installations across diverse geographic locations including California, Hawaii, Virginia, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. While none of the task orders were set aside for specific business categories, they consistently involve firm fixed-price delivery orders focusing on specialized environmental and natural resource management services. Typical project scopes include forest inventories, species monitoring, habitat restoration, invasive species control, and comprehensive environmental planning for military bases and naval installations.
