John E. Gourley, doing business as Micronesian Environmental Services, is a sole proprietorship registered to receive awards from the U.S. federal government since April 22, 2010. As a for-profit organization, Micronesian Environmental Services specializes in providing environmental and natural resource services to federal agencies. The company's expertise encompasses a range of activities, including commercial fisheries biosampling, seabird surveys, and ecological monitoring of various species in the Micronesian region. Micronesian Environmental Services has established itself as a valuable partner for government agencies seeking specialized environmental services in the Pacific region.

Through federal contract awards, Micronesian Environmental Services has primarily provided commercial fisheries biosampling services to the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These services support NOAA's efforts to collect data on commercial fish stocks, with contract values ranging from $165,768 to $169,908. The contracts have been awarded as firm-fixed-price delivery orders without set-aside designations. Additionally, the U.S. Navy recently awarded Micronesian Environmental Services an $18,941 firm-fixed-price purchase order contract for conducting visual surveys of migratory seabird aggregations on Tinian Island in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This contract was awarded through a total small business set-aside solicitation and supports the Navy's environmental planning and compliance requirements under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Sikes Act, and National Environmental Policy Act. As a subcontractor, John E. Gourley has also provided consulting services to CDM Federal Programs Corporation, though specific details of these services are not provided.

Regarding federal grant activities, Micronesian Environmental Services has been involved in ecological research and monitoring through a federal grant subaward from the University of Guam. Under this subaward, the company conducted surveys for forest birds and Micronesian megapodes on Tinian Island, investigated the status and viability of the Tinian monarch, prepared draft and final reports, and assisted with project planning and management. While the specific federal funding source for this grant is not mentioned, the work aligns with the company's expertise in environmental monitoring and ecological assessments in the Micronesian region. This grant-funded work demonstrates Micronesian Environmental Services' capability to contribute to scientific research and conservation efforts in addition to its contract-based services, further solidifying its role as a key player in environmental research and monitoring in the Pacific region.
