Shoreline Change Measurement & Validation (Alaska Sites)

The contract seeks the implementation and validation of shoreline detection algorithms using lidar, photogrammetry, and satellite-derived data across ten designated coastal sites in Alaska. The work must employ peer-reviewed methodologies to ensure scientific rigor and accuracy in identifying shoreline positions and changes over time, with linear regression analysis used to quantify trends and measure rates of change. The project requires precise data processing and validation to produce reliable results that can support coastal management and environmental monitoring efforts in a region highly vulnerable to erosion and climate-driven shifts. All work must be completed in accordance with established scientific standards, leveraging multiple remote sensing technologies to cross-validate findings and reduce uncertainty. The effort is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, indicating it falls under other scientific and technical consulting services. The solicitation was posted on July 17, 2026, with a response deadline of July 24, 2026, and is managed by the Office of Acquisition Grants within the Department of the Interior. Performance is targeted at the specified Alaska coastal locations, though exact geographic details are not provided in the data.
