About this forecast
The Department of the Interior is procuring national planning and program implementation services to advance the National Offshore Sand Inventory, with solicitation estimated for release on March 31, 2027. The work encompasses atlas creation, probabilistic resource assessment methodologies, and analysis for co-located outer continental shelf sand and heavy mineral deposits through desktop analysis designed to identify geophysical targets likely to contain restoration-quality sand and heavy minerals, thereby reducing the need for costly additional surveys and geologic samples during reconnaissance activities. The second investment stream engages state geological surveys for data retrieval, conditioning, and resampling; methodology development for heavy mineral prospectivity mapping across the coastal plain and adjacent shelf; and creation of onshore-offshore geological maps.
The estimated award value ranges from $250,000 to $499,000 under a definitive contract with national scope. Place of performance is national. The point of contact is Geoffrey Wikel, Acting Division Manager of the Marine Minerals Division at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, reached at geoffrey.wikel@boem.gov or 571-420-3426.
Forecast text
National in scope.
Two investments are proposed. The first includes atlas creation, probabilistic resource assessment methodologies, and analysis for co-located OCS sand and HMS deposits. This desktop analysis investigates geophysical targets likely to have restoration-quality sand and HMS. Results should reduce the number of costly additional surveys and geologic samples collected during reconnaissance for MMA and our stakeholders . The second would engage the state geological surveys for data retrieval, conditioning, and resampling; methodology development for HMS prospectivity mapping across the coastal plain and adjacent shelf; and/or creation of onshore-offshore geological maps.
