About this forecast
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will procure research and development services to unify existing acoustic telemetry arrays at Canaveral, Frying Pan, and Sandbridge shoals and quantify fish movement, displacement, and habitat reuse before and after dredging operations on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf. The work will generate regionwide, standardized data to support defensible effects analyses that will enable the agency to refine dredging windows, plan leases, and evaluate cumulative recovery of managed species. Solicitation release is estimated for March 31, 2027.
The estimated award value ranges from $250,000 to $499,000 under a definitive contract. Work will be performed in Sterling, Virginia. Jennifer Bucatari, Oceanographer within the Marine Minerals Program at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, is the point of contact (jennifer.bucatari@boem.gov).
