D--PNAMP Monitoring Resources Development

The U.S. Geological Survey plans to negotiate a non-competitive Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with Sitka Technology Group for the design, development, and testing of software supporting the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Program (PNAMP). Sitka is the current developer and host of the program's web tools, and switching to another provider would disrupt continuity and require significant time to onboard. While the award is intended for Sitka, other interested parties with the capability to meet the requirements and demonstrate understanding of PNAMP may submit statements of interest by August 6, 2014. The contract will follow acquisition procedures outlined in FAR Part 12 and Part 13, related to commercial item procurement and simplified acquisition, respectively. The solicitation, number G14PS00446, was to be made available around August 8, 2014, through Government-wide Point of Entry (GPE). This procurement aligns with guidelines in FAC 2005-76 dated July 25, 2014, ensuring compliance with current federal acquisition policy. The contract falls under NAICS code 541511, which covers custom computer programming services, and is managed by the Office of Acquisition Grants within the Department of the Interior based in Reston, Virginia. The government has provided contact information for inquiries and emphasized maintaining continuity in software delivery for the PNAMP initiative as a critical factor in the contracting decision.
