AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Pacific Northwest Region plans to negotiate a non-competitive contract with the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) for the creation, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of a GIS database focused on water rights associated with the Umatilla Project in Oregon. OWRD is considered uniquely qualified for this task due to its role as the primary state agency managing water rights in Oregon, its possession of authoritative records necessary for the database, and its expertise in managing complex, frequently changing water rights data. Additionally, OWRD has developed the Digital Water Rights Transfer Application (DWRTA), a GIS-based tool designed to streamline water rights transfers by integrating irrigation district-submitted geospatial data, and this project represents the first extension of this application beyond its initial development setting, likely requiring adaptation for broader use. While this action is an intent to award non-competitively under FAR Part 13 procedures, interested parties may still express their capabilities or submit proposals by the stated deadline to be considered for a potential competitive procurement. The government retains sole discretion over whether to proceed with a competitive process. Communications regarding the opportunity are to be directed in writing via fax or email, with no telephone inquiries accepted. The contract aligns with the NAICS code 541511, which pertains to custom computer programming services, reflecting the technical nature of the GIS database development work.

Full Description

The Pacific Northwest Region, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Boise, Idaho, per the authority of FAR 6.001(a) and using FAR Parts 13 procedures, intends to negotiate a non-competitive contract with the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD), 158 12th St NE, Salem, OR 97301, for the development, implementation, and maintenance of a GIS database of Umatilla Project, Oregon, water rights. The NAICS Code applicable to this requirement is 541511. OWRD is uniquely qualified to perform this work for the following reasons: a) OWRD is the state agency responsible for administering water rights in Oregon and, in that capacity, maintains all of the official records necessary for the Umatilla Project Water Rights Database; b) water rights information is highly dynamic and complex, involving frequent changes processed through legally established protocols, and much of this information is not readily accessible or transmittable to parties external to OWRD; c) OWRD is the developer of the Digital Water Rights Transfer Application (DWRTA), a GIS based computer program that expedites the administrative approval of water rights transfers and the updating of the Oregon's geospatial water rights database by using irrigation district submitted GIS and CAD files that map proposed changes in place of use ; d) adoption of DWRTA by the Umatilla Project represents the first deployment of this application beyond its development environment and may require significant modifications to successfully function in a broader domain; e) OWRD, in both its water rights administration and local watermaster roles, has extensive experience with and knowledge of the participating irrigation districts' business practices and related information. Although this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, persons interested in this requirement may identify their capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. All information received by 4:00 PM MST, February 14, 2003, will be considered by the Government in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination not to compete this proposed action, however, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Submit inquiries and/or proposals to Robert Milette by FAX at +1 (555) 000-0000 or by EMAIL to contact@example.gov. No telephone inquiries will be accepted.
