About this file

This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes Oil Spill Center of Expertise (GLCOE) FY27 Broad Agency Announcement, released February 12, 2026, with a one-year period of performance from the date of award.

The GLCOE seeks research and development proposals addressing four primary themes: (1) Freshwater Oil Spill Preparedness, including detection of submerged oil, oil fate and behavior modeling, and in situ oil sensors; (2) Freshwater Oil Spill Response, including uncrewed underwater systems, cold weather response technology, modernized response equipment, and physical recovery of oil; (3) Freshwater Alternative Response Measures, such as in situ burning; and (4) Freshwater Fundamental Oil Spill Science covering physiochemistry, toxicity, sensing fundamentals, and environmental fate and transport. Contractors must execute a Post Award Conference within 14 business days of award and submit draft Project Management and Data Management Plans. Key deliverables include a Final Project Management Plan, Final Data Management Plan, monthly progress meeting minutes, research and development activities aligned with the funded proposal, a final report (508 compliant), and a deliverables archive, all due prior to the end of the performance period. The contractor must provide a Lead Principal Investigator designated as Key Personnel, maintain monthly progress meetings with the Contracting Officer's Representative, attend an annual in-person collaborative event, and comply with Section 508 accessibility standards, safety regulations, animal research protocols (if applicable), environmental regulations, and human research protection requirements. The Government will furnish no resources; the contractor must provide all facilities, materials, equipment, and services. Performance evaluation focuses on quality and timely deliverables with no substantive corrections required, on-time monthly and quarterly progress reports delayed no more than one business day, and effective resource planning and document management.

5.3 ANIMAL RESEARCH REGULATIONS

The transportation, care, and use of animals must be in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.) and with other applicable local, institutional, and Federal laws, guidelines, and policies. All procedures and experiments involving animals will be designed and performed with due consideration of the appropriateness of the species, life stage, and minimum number needed to attain valid and sufficiently informative results. Experimental procedures and animal handling will be designed and conducted to avoid unnecessary distress and suffering while consistent with sound scientific practices.

Although a project can be reviewed without Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) (or non-USA equivalent such as OECD/ISO Terrestrial Animal Health Code) approval, project activities involving animals cannot be initiated until the GLCOE has received a copy of the IACUC approval letter or an exempt certification as part of the final PMP.

10.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY

The PRS establishes key elements of Contractor performance that represent “mission essential” service requirements, which are identified in the table below in the “Service Output” column. The “Performance Objective” column represents the standard against which Contractor performance will be measured in relation to accomplishment of the corresponding service output. The performance objective or “standard” describes the minimum acceptable level of service by the Contractor for satisfactory performance. The “Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)” column displays the maximum allowable deviation from the performance objective, which, if exceeded, evokes the negative incentive specified in the table below.

Service Output Performance Objective Acceptable Level of Quality

(AQL)

Positive Incentive

Negative Incentive

1. Quality and Timely Deliverables

Research, develop, prepare, compile and submit quality deliverables. Must not require substantive corrections or revisions.

No deviation unless approved in advance by the COR.

Contractor’s ability to meet performance requirements will be reflected in the Contractor’s past performance evaluation.

Failure to meet schedule or provide acceptable deliverables will result in corrective action as determined appropriate by the Contracting Officer in consultation with the COR. The range of possible actions include but are not limited to re-performance of work, withholding payment, renegotiating the schedule, and partial or total termination for convenience/ default.

2. On-time Monthly & Quarterly Progress Reports

No progress report is delayed by more than one business day.

3. Effective Resource Planning

Manage, retain, and reference project documents that are compiled throughout the performance period. Contractor will be flexible to the government’s evolving requirements and adaptations.
