Open-Source Software Documentation & Training Development

The contract seeks the development of comprehensive technical documentation and a virtual training session for USGS staff focused on configuring and utilizing the STAC-enhanced CoastSeg workflow, which is distributed under the GPL-3.0 open-source license. The deliverables must clearly guide users through setup, configuration, data ingestion, and operational use of the software, ensuring that federal personnel can effectively implement and maintain the workflow independently. The documentation should be detailed, accessible, and aligned with federal technical standards, while the training session must be interactive, tailored to the technical skill level of the audience, and capable of addressing real-world use cases within USGS operations. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services and is posted with a response deadline of July 24, 2026. The contracting authority is the Office of Acquisition Grants within the Department of the Interior, with no specific place of performance identified, implying the work may be performed remotely. The contract does not specify a set-aside type or point of contact, and the submission process is managed through the SAM.gov platform. Contractors are expected to demonstrate expertise in open-source software documentation, geospatial data tools, and adult technical training delivery, particularly in environmental science or remote sensing contexts, with an emphasis on usability and compliance with open-source licensing requirements.
