Natural Resources And Environment R&D Services; Conservation And Land Management; Applied Research

PSC Category AH22-P encompasses Natural Resources and Environment Research and Development Services, with a focus on conservation, land management, and applied research. This category supports scientific and technical services related to environmental studies, ecological assessments, and technological development in natural resource domains. The services typically involve specialized research, field studies, instrument development, and environmental monitoring across various federal agency initiatives.

The federal contract awards under this PSC category demonstrate a diverse range of research and conservation projects, primarily funded by NASA and the Bureau of Land Management. Contract values range from $53,581 to $5,081,114, with performance periods extending up to 14 years. Frequent awardees include research universities (University of Maryland, University of Alaska Fairbanks), aerospace contractors (Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, BAE Systems), and specialized environmental service providers. Most contracts are firm fixed-price and do not have specific set-aside designations, though some small business and 8(a) set-asides are present. The awards cover activities such as atmosphere observing system studies, shoreline resiliency research, ecological impact assessments, and conservation treatment of historical sites.

The federal contract opportunities in this PSC category include specialized research and conservation projects. A notable opportunity from the Bureau of Land Management seeks a small business contractor to provide conservation treatment for rock imagery sites in Utah, including graffiti mitigation and staff training. Another opportunity from NASA involves a special notice canceling a previously planned spacecraft study. These opportunities demonstrate a continued focus on environmental research, conservation techniques, and technological development in natural resource management, with federal agencies like NASA and the Bureau of Land Management driving the solicitations.
