T--CGB-400 IMT GIS Technical Service Support

The contract supports Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) technical services for the Bureau of Reclamation’s California Great Basin Region under the CGB-400 IMT GIS Technical Service Support solicitation, issued as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 541611. The scope encompasses operation of the CGBGIS Service Center, development and maintenance of regional and enterprise-wide spatial databases, software and application development, data acquisition, end-user support, and systems management using ESRI GIS platforms, GPS, and Computer-Aided Drafting tools. The contract employs a hybrid Firm Fixed Price and Time and Materials structure, with travel costs capped at $44,800 annually and no stated ceiling for the core GIS and systems management services. Performance spans a one-year base period with two optional one-year extensions, and work is primarily performed at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Sacramento location, though travel to remote GIS meetings or training events may occur with prior approval. Contractors must comply with strict security protocols including National Agency Check (NAC) clearance, compliance with the Reclamation IT Security Program and HSPD-12/FIPS 201 standards for Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards, which must be worn at all times on federal premises. Employees may also be required to sign non-disclosure agreements for sensitive assignments. Performance is rigorously monitored through a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan that enforces acceptable quality levels, requiring biweekly and monthly reports and invoices to be submitted on time 98% of the time, 100% of invoices to include full supporting documentation, and technical staff to correctly answer 95% of GIS-related inquiries. The Contracting Officer’s Representative conducts ongoing surveillance and mid-term evaluations, while contractors may submit written self-assessments. Payment determinations are made by the Contracting Officer within 45 days of each evaluation period, with potential disincentives applied for performance failures, and invoicing occurs monthly alongside bimonthly labor reports. All deliverables are submitted to the COR at the Sacramento office, and contractors must maintain valid automobile insurance and professional conduct standards, with immediate action required for any complaints against personnel.
