About this opportunity
The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is procuring ecosystem restoration-based science support services on behalf of the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (GCERC) to review and assess RESTORE Act applications for natural resource protection and restoration projects. The contractor will be responsible for coordinating subject matter expert reviews, primarily from nonprofits, Gulf centers of excellence, and academia, to determine whether project applications are reasonably based on best available science as defined by the RESTORE Act. Key requirements include helping select three reviewers per project, providing standardized guidance, and administering funds to compensate the reviewers for their assessments. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price purchase order with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. Questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted by 10:00am EST on September 2, 2025, while quotes are due by 10:00am EST on September 12, 2025, both to be emailed to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov with the subject line "20341825R00002 ATTN: MWinans/JMiller."
