About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard Great Lakes Oil Spill Center of Expertise seeks research and development proposals addressing freshwater oil spill preparedness, response, alternative response measures, or fundamental science, with proposals due June 18, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EST and questions due June 9, 2026.
This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA 70Z023R27BAAGLCOE), closed one-step, open to all responsible sources with no set-aside. Place of performance is the United States. The procurement covers four research themes: Theme 1, Freshwater Oil Spill Preparedness (detection of submerged oil, modeling oil fate and behavior, in situ oil sensors); Theme 2, Freshwater Oil Spill Response (uncrewed underwater systems, cold weather response technology, modernized response equipment, physical oil recovery); Theme 3, Freshwater Alternative Response Measures (in situ burning); and Theme 4, Freshwater Fundamental Oil Spill Science (oil physiochemistry, toxicity, sensing fundamentals, fate and transport). Offerors are limited to one technical proposal per theme. NAICS code is 541715, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences; PSC is AH42, Natural Resources and Environment R&D Services.
The maximum proposal value is $250,000 per submission. Period of performance is one year from contract award, anticipated to begin January–February 2027, with an optional one no-cost time extension. Awards are anticipated in Q1 FY27 (October–December 2026) and will generally be firm fixed price contracts. Cost sharing is not required but leveraged funding is encouraged.
Technical proposals are limited to 18 pages, submitted in PDF with Times New Roman 12-point font, and must include a cover page, background context, problem statement and project goals, technical approach, research schedule, deliverables, and optional references. Cost breakdowns are submitted separately detailing labor, travel, materials and supplies, equipment, subcontracts, and indirect costs. Post-award requirements include a Post Award Conference within 14 business days of award, monthly progress meetings with the Contracting Officer and Project Manager, quarterly virtual presentations, draft Project Management and Data Management Plans due within 14 business days of the Post Award Conference, a 508-compliant Final Report, and attendance at an Annual Collaborative in-person event tentatively scheduled for June 2027. The Lead Principal Investigator is designated Key Personnel and must respond to technical issues within 72 hours.
Evaluation criteria in descending order of importance are importance to GLCOE functional mandate and research themes, scientific and technical merit, funds availability, and cost/price realism and reasonableness. Small businesses (fewer than 1,000 employees) are encouraged to submit. Foreign participation may be restricted based on disclosure review.
