Watercraft Inspection and Decontamination Services

The contract requires the provision of inspection and hot-water decontamination services for recreational and commercial watercraft at designated access points to prevent the spread of invasive species between waterbodies. Services must be performed at critical entry and exit locations to ensure vessels are thoroughly checked for invasive organisms and properly cleaned using high-temperature water methods that effectively eliminate potential contaminants without damaging the vessels. The work is intended to support ecological protection efforts by minimizing the risk of transferring invasive aquatic species across lakes, rivers, and other water systems through human-aided transport. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 562998, which encompasses other support activities for waste management, and is managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service under the Department of the Interior. Although no specific location details are provided, performance will occur at access points critical to watercraft movement across waterbodies. The solicitation was posted on June 19, 2026, with responses due by December 16, 2026. The contract does not specify a set-aside type or point of contact, and bidders must be prepared to meet operational, safety, and environmental compliance standards necessary for field-based decontamination services in diverse aquatic environments.
