- Description
- The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is a science organization that provides impartial information on the health of our ecosystems and environments, the natural hazards that threaten us, the natural resources we rely on, the impacts of climate and land-use change, and the core science systems that help us provide timely, relevant, and useable information. USGS is a bureau of the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI). The USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center primarily funded by the Coastal and Marine Geology Program (PCMSC, http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov; CMGP, http://marine.usgs.gov) conducts multidisciplinary scientific research in the coastal and offshore areas of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, and other U.S. Pacific Islands, and in other waterways of the United States. This contract concerns science communications relating to the mission and programs of the USGS PCMSC. Contractor shall provide professional science communication and consultation services for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, Santa Cruz, CA and its primary funding partner, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Reston VA. This activity will help make USGS science activities, processes, and results accessible, understandable, and meaningful to non-scientists, including the public, partners, funders, Congress, and other stakeholders. The contractor will not represent the government in any manner, place, or forum. Contractor will consult, develop, and provide communication methods such as Fact Sheets or other written outreach products, web-pages, photos, podcasts, videos, articles for local, regional, or national media outlets, articles for in-house outreach products such as USGS Sound Waves or DOl Newswave, posters and (or) displays, presentations, or similar products. Topics may include integrated Center research interests, Center capabilities and tools, selected project activities, highlights of research results, human-interest stories, disaster response stories, or similar subjects. Contractor will likely be required to maintain or establish a presence in the Santa Cruz, CA area in order to more effectively interact with PCMSC management, projects, and activites, and have specific experience in science communications with a preference for coastal and marine science specialization. The solicitation process is being conducted under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. See solicitation package for full details, the SOW, and the applicable evaluation criteria.
