The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 514712, ¿Research and Development (R&D)-Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences¿. The contract will be procured on an unrestricted basis. The period of performance of the resultant contract is anticipated to consist of a one-year base period and four (4) one-year option periods. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), within the Department of the Interior, is seeking to improve analyses of the environmental effects of offshore wind development through direct measurements or observations of the activities that occur during construction and initial operation. BOEM manages the exploration and development of the nation's offshore energy resources. The Bureau balances economic development, energy independence, and environmental protection through responsible management of offshore conventional and renewable energy development based on the best available science. BOEM conducts environmental reviews, including National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analyses and compliance documents for each major stage of energy development planning which includes leasing, site assessment, construction, operations, and decommissioning. These analyses evaluate the potential environmental impacts from the proposed activities on the human, coastal, and marine environment. The analyses require estimations of the impact producing factor or stressor and the effects from the stressor on the ecosystem or receptors. One example of an impact producing factor or stressor is the sound produced during pile driving, which may have an effect or impact on marine mammals, fish, or sea turtles, which are considered receptors. This study is focused on direct measurements or observations of the impact producing factors including the intensity, duration, and nature of the stressor. This information will provide inputs to analyses or models that evaluate the effects or impacts from the activities. This study will not duplicate or replicate any requirements already placed on industry for monitoring. In addition, any activities conducted during the task orders must be coordinated with industry and shall not interfere with the industry activities or result in delays of the industry activities.
