AI Contract Overview

The US Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, plans to award a sole-source purchase order to Oceanweather Inc. to extend and verify their existing Wind/Wave Hindcast study for western Alaska, covering the period from January 1, 2010, through January 1, 2012. This contract involves updating wind and pressure field data consistent with previous studies to ensure continuity and reliability in the modeling work. Specific tasks include generating wind fields, blending point-source and satellite wind data, producing sea-level surface pressure fields every three hours within a defined geographic domain, and incorporating mean monthly ice concentration estimates for the two-year period. Additionally, the contract will verify surge estimates for Bristol Bay and Kuskokwim Bay using recent data, with basin winds derived from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis for the same timeframe. This procurement will be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, allowing negotiation with only one source due to the specialized nature of the work. While the contract notice invites proposals within seven days of publication, the government retains sole discretion to proceed without competitive bidding, primarily using responses only to determine the necessity of competition. The contract falls under NAICS code 541711 and will be managed through the US Army Corps of Engineers office in Anchorage, Alaska, with performance focused on Kuskokwim Bay, Alaska. The designated contracting officer for this action is Christine A. Dale.

Full Description

The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The US Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, intends to issue a purchase order to Oceanweather Inc. for extension of the existing Wind/Wave Hindcast for western Alaska from 1 January 2010 through 1 January 2012, and to perform verification of surge estimates in Bristol Bay and Kuskokwim Bay using the recent year data. The work of this contract is to develop the wind and ice fields consistent with the prior work to assure verification work using this extended data will be consistent for the prior modeling work using the prior data. Work consists of the following: All wind/pressure field generation used in previous studies will be used to update the existing Western Alaska Wind/Wave Hindcast study. This will include wind field generation, blending of any available point-source and satellite derived wind data; generation of sea-level surface pressure fields at 3hr time steps and for the domain bounded by 50-74N, 155-205E at - degree resolution. Mean monthly ice concentration estimates (longitude, latitude, concentration level) for the period 1 January 2010 through 1 January 2012 placed on the target grid bounded by 50-74N, 155-205E at - degree resolution. Basin winds from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis will be derived and will span the period from 1 January 2010 through 1 January 2012. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within seven (7) calendar days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
