Advancing Coastal Flood Protection Services

The NOS National Center for Coastal Ocean Science requires offsite services to advance coastal flood protection through public-private partnerships. Selected projects must utilize state-of-the-art methods and natural infrastructure to address long-term coastal flood risks. The scope includes enhancing engagement between advanced academic, governmental, and private sector modeling teams, as well as applying scenario-based modeling to examine innovative insurance products, public-private partnerships, funding mechanisms, and improved sediment management. Only onshore, USA-based organizations are eligible to apply. Applicants must complete and maintain active registrations in SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and eRA Commons prior to submitting their applications. The Selecting Official evaluates proposals using applicant prior award performance and awards funding in rank order unless a justification supports selecting an applicant out of order. The buyer anticipates notifying applicants of awards or declinations by September 2027 and specifies a contract start date of September 1, 2027.
