AI Contract Overview

The contract involves awarding a Purchase Order to Oceanweather, Inc. by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, under a sole source justification for work related to a Long-Term Wind, Wave, and Storm Surge Climatology Project in various locations across Alaska. The focus of this effort is to utilize Oceanweather’s expertise in meso-scale meteorological modeling to digitize pressure fields, integrate measured surface data, and accurately interpolate wind fields over time and space to support model implementation on a strict timeline. Given the critical nature of timely and precise data delivery for the project's success, Oceanweather’s prior proven performance in delivering high-quality wind data for similar Alaska domain projects (DMT and Barrow) is a key factor in the sole source award decision. The project will extend the existing wind and pressure field data sets to cover additional months, specifically from November through June, that were not included in previous efforts. Maintaining consistency in methodology, technology, and data sources between this and earlier work is essential to produce a reliable long-term climatology of wind, wave, and storm surge conditions along Alaska's west coast. Any deviation in the generation of atmospheric or oceanographic inputs could compromise the integrity of the climatology product. Therefore, ensuring continuity through Oceanweather’s participation is critical for the accuracy and usability of the climatological dataset. The anticipated award date for the Purchase Order is June 16, 2006, under NAICS code 541710, with the government retaining sole discretion on the decision not to compete the requirement based on responses received.

Full Description

Description W911KB-06-T-0032 Long-Term Wind, Wave and Storm Surge Climatology Project, Various Locations, Alaska CONTRACT INFORMATION: Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 the US Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, will be intends to award a Purchase Order to Oceanweather, Inc. for assistance to perform the services described below. The Purchase Order will be a sole source under NAICS 541710. Award of the Purchase Order is anticipated for June 16, 2006. PROJECT INFORMATION: Typical types of services to be provided may include: Contractor must possess the skill, based on an expertise in the meso-scale meteorological modeling, skilled meteorologists, hardware, and software to digitize the pressure field s, incorporate other sources of measured surface data, and accurately interpolate over time and space necessary for a model implementation in the required time frame. The accuracy and timely completion of the current project hinges on the timely arrival of these wind fields, and their quality. The time constraint is severe. Oceanweather, Inc. has been found to be extremely rewarding in providing accurate wind fields in a timely fashion. The company is geared to face these impediments, and based on past work, has been the key ingredient in the success of these projects. In addition, wind fields for the past two (DMT and Barrow) projects in the Alaska domain will be use d as the basis of this project, slightly extending the domains in space and generating wind/pressure fields for the months (November through June) not included in the original work. Consistency in the methodology and technology is required for the generat ion of a long-term climatology. Any change in the wind, pressure, ice-field, wave and storm surge generation will be extremely detrimental to the development of the climatology. It is important that Oceanweather, Inc. be used for this work to assure the consistency of the data from the prior work (DMT and Barrow) with this new work, so the whole product is usable and accurate for the development of wind/wave climate across the entire west coast of Alaska. A determination by the Government not to compete the requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
