The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy, is seeking qualified contractors to conduct bat surveys and monitoring at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island (MCRDPI) in South Carolina. The primary objective of this procurement is to identify bat species, assess their habitats, and develop management plans to ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA), while also enhancing data collection on bat demographics and spatial ecology. This initiative is crucial for managing natural resources around the recruit training mission, preventing human-bat conflicts, and protecting military training activities. Interested parties can contact Sgt. Jaydian Toomin at jaydian.toomin@usmc.mil or 843-228-2157 for further details, with the project scheduled to run from April 2025 to April 2030, culminating in a comprehensive final report by April 2026.
