Scope
NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLICIT A SINGLE SOURCE The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District intends to solicit and contract with Fish & Wildlife Research Institute (CAGE 3UWN3), of St.
Petersburg, FL, on a sole-source basis, RFO 6.103-1(b), to conduct Nekton monitoring within selected zones of the Lower St.
Johns River (LSJR) as well as selected tributaries in Northeast Florida.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Fish and Wildlife Research Institute’s (FWRI) Fisheries-Independent Monitoring (FIM) program is a long-term program designed to monitor the relative abundance of fishery resources in Florida’s major estuarine, coastal, and reef systems.
FWRI works for the State of Florida.
The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 541620, Environmental Consulting Services.
The USACE, in cooperation with the Jacksonville Port Authority (JaxPort), conducted a comprehensive economic, engineering, and environmental study to examine the effects of increasing the depth of the existing Federally maintained channel in the LSJR from the current depth of 40-feet to a maximum depth of 47-feet between the mouth, at Mayport Florida, and river mile 13.

As part of this evaluation, computer modeling scenarios have been completed on the potential effects that the channel deepening might have on water quality, circulation patterns, salinity gradients, and a variety of ecological components (wetland vegetation, SAV, benthos, plankton, and nekton) in the LSJR.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
