About this forecast
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is procuring geophysical and geological data collection, analysis, and operational research to advance the National Offshore Critical Mineral Inventory (NOCMI) program for the Atlantic region, with solicitation anticipated by March 31, 2027. The work focuses on offshore mapping and assessment in the Mid-Atlantic, emphasizing high sand use areas supporting coastal resilience projects and high-prospectivity leasable areas for hard mineral services (HMS), with analysis of HMS resource distribution to evaluate co-extraction suitability and expand resource-planning alternatives.
The estimated award value ranges from $1 million to $1.9 million for this definitive contract supporting the New England Region. Geoffrey Wikel, Acting Division Manager of the Marine Minerals Division at BOEM, serves as the primary point of contact and can be reached at geoffrey.wikel@boem.gov or +1-571-420-3426.
Forecast text
Region 1/2 offshore mapping and assessment. Blended NOCMI/NOSI Investment.
The primary investment is in additional geophysical and geological data offshore of the Mid-Atlantic in high sand use areas for coastal resilience projects and high prospectivity and leasable areas for HMS. The investment will analyze the distribution of HMS in resources used for resilience projects to assess the suitability for co-extraction and provide a wider range of resource-planning alternatives.
