Morganza to the Gulf Project, BLH-Wet LA Coastal Zone Resources, Mitigation Bank Credits, CEMVN

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District (CEMVN), is seeking to purchase 4.59 average annual habitat units (AAHUs) of FM/IM DCE-EFH mitigation bank credits to compensate for unavoidable habitat losses resulting from the construction of Reach F and associated activities for the Morganza to the Gulf Project within the Louisiana Coastal Zone. The credits must be sourced from a mitigation bank approved by CEMVN and in full compliance with its Mitigation Banking Instrument, conservation servitudes, financial assurances, and 33 CFR Part 332 standards. The bank must be physically located within the Terrebonne Basin, defined by Hydrologic Unit Code 08090302, and must provide a habitat type that directly matches the habitat being mitigated. All credits must be assessed using version 1.2 of the BLH-Wet Wetland Value Assessment Community Model, which is certified by the Headquarters USACE Model Certification Panel under EC 1105-2-412. A duly-recorded perpetual conservation servitude or easement is required to ensure long-term protection of the mitigation site. This procurement is unrestricted and will be conducted under NAICS code 523910. Proposals are expected to be submitted following a Request for Proposal to be issued on or about July 6, 2026, via SAM.gov. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management under the specified NAICS code. Award will be made using the lowest-price technically acceptable source selection process, meaning all technical eligibility criteria serve as pass/fail gates; failure to meet any one renders a proposal non-responsive. Separate contracts will be executed for each bank credit purchase, and only .pdf submissions using Adobe Acrobat Reader will be accepted. The Contracting Officer is Anehra A. Baldwin and the Contract Specialist is Evan G. Woitha, both reachable via email and phone through the New Orleans District office.
