About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Marine Minerals Administration is issuing a Notice of Intent to sole source a contract to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for an initial evaluation of how photochemical weathering affects emulsion breaker performance, with capability statements or proposals due by 5:00 p.m. ET on November 25, 2026. The notice is not a competitive solicitation, and the government retains discretion to compete the action. The Acquisition Operations Branch is the issuing office, and no set-aside is used. The work would establish a controlled experimental framework with the MMA Response Research Branch to generate preliminary data on how oil weathering state relates to chemical treatment efficiency. The notice states that success may lead to larger efforts on mechanistic controls to inform operational use of emulsion breakers. The notice cites key personnel with expertise in Environmental Science, Marine Chemistry, and Geochemistry, ten relevant publications on photochemical oil dissolution, petroleum compound toxicity, and Deepwater Horizon impacts, and committee membership in the NASEM Gulf Research Program's Gulf-Alaska Knowledge Exchange. Responses go by email to Contracting Officer Chrischanda S. Smith at chrischanda_smith@ios.doi.gov and must reference the unsolicited proposal title. The notice is coded NAICS 541620 and PSC AH43.
