About this forecast
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is procuring research and development services to develop site-specific models of sound pressure, particle motion, and substrate-borne vibration from deep-sea mining activities in critical minerals development areas, with solicitation expected to release on 2027-03-31. The contractor will integrate local oceanography and sediment coupling data to determine exposure levels for marine taxa from the seabed to the surface, then use the models to predict sound fields and inform impact assessments and noise-mitigation strategies for offshore critical minerals operations.
Award value is estimated between $250,000 and $499,000 under a definitive contract vehicle. Work will be performed in Sterling, Virginia. Contact Shane Guan at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (shane.guan@boem.gov) for additional information.
