Interested contractors must submit a technical capability document of no more than 20 pages and will be assessed using the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) for past performance evaluation.

The contract will be a firm fixed-price agreement covering a one-year period from April 15, 2025, to April 15, 2026, with the place of performance located in Beaufort, SC 29905. The contractor will be responsible for designing a monitoring plan in coordination with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, conducting monthly surveys, collecting and analyzing data, and producing a final report with habitat management recommendations. While no specific incumbent or current contractor is mentioned, the solicitation indicates that the award will be made to the responsible contractor whose quote is most advantageous to the government, considering price and other factors.
