P-Optimal Wetland Monitoring

Description

This is a presolicitation notice for the P-Optimal Wetland AE Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) in Defiance, OH. No proposals will be considered. this is for INFORMATIONAL purposes only to make industry aware of the upcoming requirement. A response is not required currently. Questions will not be answered until official solicitation is issued. The anticipated release of the synopsis, to include a request for SF-330s, is December 2025.Project Characteristics: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Buffalo District (LRB), in partnership with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Environmental Laboratory (EL), Wetlands and Coastal Ecology Branch (EEW), has been conducting research and development of nutrient retention strategies for over a decade, specifically focusing on phosphorus (P)-optimal wetland test bed pilot studies for the last 5 years. The Defiance, OH 10-acre location was designed and implemented in 2021 and has been in a monitoring phase for the last 4 years This contract will build upon that foundation, transitioning from initial research, implementation and monitoring to long-term performance optimization, iterative and adaptive design improvements, and broader application of P-optimal wetland technology.The overall objective of this contract is to evaluate and refine the optimization of P-optimal wetlands through continued research, demonstration, and the development and refinement of scalable implementation strategies. At the Defiance, OH location, this includes utilizing the key characteristics identified in past work to promote P absorption to address potential limitations and identify structural and functional changes to the wetland pilot, optimizing its operation and improving P retention potentials. Outcomes include maintaining baseline operations across site, continuing advanced monitoring, hosting/maintaining a live data-dashboard, and providing design, planning, refined cost estimates, and implementation for modification of the existing P-optimal wetland.SOLICITATION WEBSITE: The official solicitation and any subsequent amendments or updates, when posted, will be available free of charge by electronic posting only and may be found at Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE), https://piee.eb.mil/.
