About this forecast

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will procure research and development services to evaluate lateral displacement of decommissioned-in-place pipelines in shallow Gulf waters and assess risk to sensitive benthic habitats. The work includes field surveys and desktop synthesis to quantify movement frequency and extent, with findings intended to improve environmental assessments, consultations, and mitigation and spacing guidelines for offshore infrastructure. The estimated solicitation release date is March 31, 2027.

The estimated award value ranges from $500,000 to $999,000 under a definitive contract. Work will be performed in New Orleans, Louisiana. Michelle Garig at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (michelle.garig@boem.gov) serves as the point of contact for this acquisition.
