Oil Spill Boom Computational Fluid Dynamics and Ph

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement within the Department of the Interior is seeking proposals to conduct a computational fluid dynamics and physical modeling study of oil spill booms. Offerors must identify a minimum of three boom technologies to model and test at multiple scales through computational fluid dynamics and physical testing at Ohmsett's wave tank facility. Proposals are due by May 10, 2021 and will be evaluated based on technical approach, past performance, and price. Amendments to the solicitation adjusted the required number of scales to be tested and added questions and answers.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The primary NAICS code is 541715 and the predominant PSC code is R425. Testing will take place at Ohmsett in Leonardo, New Jersey over a three week period. Offerors must procure scaled boom models, perform CFD modeling, and analyze results to determine consistency between modeling and physical testing while accounting for scale factors. The period of performance is 12 months with an anticipated award date shortly after proposal receipt. The place of performance will be the contractor's facility and Ohmsett.
