B--U.S. PACIFIC OCS REGION

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), through the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement Acquisition Management Division, is seeking scientific and technical services to support the management of energy and mineral resources in the U.S. Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region. This region encompasses offshore areas of California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii. The primary objective of this requirement is to identify and document available resources for potentially suitable energy development sites and to conduct technical, economic, and policy analyses related to infrastructure needs. This includes assessing infrastructure requirements such as ports, navigation, transmission, and supply chain logistics, as well as evaluating associated impacts, conflicts, and synergies.

This solicitation, identified by number 140M0121R0001, is classified under NAICS 541690 for Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services and PSC B543 for Special Studies/Analysis- Energy. Proposals are due by January 11, 2021, and the primary point of contact is Tae-won Eum. The solicitation includes six attachments, featuring the RFP, a sample task order, non-disclosure agreement templates, past performance documents, and an amendment issued on December 18, 2020.

Work performed under this contract will assist BOEM in fulfilling its mandate under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to oversee exploration and development activities. The scope of work focuses on aspects of energy development external to the offshore facilities themselves, ensuring that the agency has the necessary scientific and technical data to inform the issuance of leases, easements, or rights-of-way in the Pacific OCS.
