Contracting officer information and contact details
The Department of the Interior’s Upper Colorado Regional Office is initiating a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 for comprehensive support services related to the proprietary RiverWare software, a critical tool for water resources management, reservoir operations, and hydrologic modeling. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with a potential performance period of up to ten years and a ceiling value of $8,600,000. Only CADSWES, the Center for Advanced Decision Support for Water and Environmental Systems at the University of Colorado, is considered a responsible source due to its exclusive ownership and control over RiverWare’s source code and intellectual property. Offerors must provide evidence of formal authorization from CADSWES or proof of ownership to qualify, along with their Unique Entity ID (UEI), CAGE code, and business size status under NAICS code 541511. The contract will be administered by the Bureau of Reclamation with performance centered in Salt Lake City, Utah. No competitive evaluation factors are applicable, as award is based solely on the contractor’s unique capability to deliver authorized RiverWare support, including software maintenance, bug fixes, upgrades, and technical assistance. Proposal submissions must be submitted electronically by August 5, 2026, to the Contracting Officer Johnny Lyons, with no physical or portal submissions permitted. There are no established line items, pricing details, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or security clearance mandates specified, as the acquisition hinges entirely on proprietary access and technical authorization rather than conventional procurement metrics.

The overall period of performance spans from November 2, 2026, to November 1, 2031, consisting of a base year and four option periods, with a possible six-month extension through May 1, 2032. The government will utilize a best-value tradeoff process for the IDIQ award, where technical capability, relevant experience, and past performance are significantly more important than price.
The procurement includes an initial task order, Task Order No. 0001, which will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process. While competing for this specific task order is optional and does not affect IDIQ eligibility, interested offerors must submit additional technical and price volumes. Proposals are due by September 11, 2026, following an extension from the original September 4 deadline. The contract requires electronic invoicing via the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform and mandates that contractors maintain active registration in the System for Award Management. Recent amendments have clarified proposal volume requirements and revised container size specifications across pricing schedules and ordering templates.
