AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, intends to award a sole-source Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Resource Management Associates, Inc. (RMA) for up to five years, valued at $550,000 or less. The contract will support programming services focused on the modernization and continued development of Reservoir Control/Water Management database applications. This includes expanding CWMS relational database tables, creating an API for data access, and replacing legacy reporting applications with integrated, modernized CWMS database applications. The work involves programming primarily in JAVA, C, and C++, the standardized languages for HEC-DSSVUE and CWMS software, and requires collaboration with the Hydrologic Engineering Center and Tulsa District under the Reservoir Control Section. RMA is the lead developer for CWMS and has significant prior experience in designing and developing key Hydrologic Engineering Center software, which justifies the sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The government emphasizes that pursuing competition would cause substantial duplication of cost and delays of one to two years since RMA has already performed critical work on these projects. This contract encompasses travel and meeting participation as part of its scope. Interested firms must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration database to be considered, and responses to this notice, which is not a request for proposals, must be submitted by email by the stated deadline for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement will be initiated.

Full Description

This is a notification of intent to award a sole-source Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Resource Management Associates, Inc (RMA) of Fairfield, California under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The contract will provide for programming services associated with continued development, updating and/or modernizing Reservoir Control/Water Management database applications. This procurement is for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District (SWF), Reservoir Control Section (CESWF-EC-HL) who is working in a project management capacity with the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), and Tulsa District (SWT) on several relational database applications. CWMS relational database tables will be expanded and an Application Programming Interface (API) created to access the data. Legacy daily, monthly, and annual report database applications used within SWF, SWT, and across the USACE water management community will be replaced with database applications which will be integrated into CWMS. Services sought include programming in JAVA, C and C++, the accepted standardized programming languages for HEC-DSSVUE and CWMS. The contract will also involve travel and participation in meetings regarding the initiatives. The project is a multi-phase collaborative effort expected to take up to 5 years to complete and is a follow on contract for the continued development of these database applications. This contract is estimated to cost $550,000 or less. The period of performance for this contract will not exceed five (5) years from the date of award. RMA is a primary developer for CWMS and has also participated in the design and development of each of the newest generation of HECs software including HMS, RAS, FDA, FIA, ResSim, ResPRM, and DSSVue. Any other course of procurement would result in substantial duplication of cost to the government and would create delays of one to two years, for reproducing work RMA has already performed on the project, in fulfilling Reservoir Control Sections requirements. These costs would not be recovered through competition. To be eligible to receive a Government contract award, a firm must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Register via the CCR internet site at: www.ccr.gov . For further questions or concerns regarding CCR, please contact CCR Assistance at +1 (555) 000-0000 Monday thru Friday 8:00am to 6:00pm (EST).
