The Department of Defense is soliciting a non-personnel services contract for a technical eelgrass survey near the Swinomish Federal Navigation Channel in Washington. This opportunity is open to all businesses, as there is no set-aside for small businesses. Interested contractors must provide personnel, equipment, and materials necessary for the survey, which will assess submerged aquatic vegetation potentially impacted by upcoming dredging activities. Since this is a solicitation notice, businesses should prepare to submit quotes rather than bids.
