Description

Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) for public comments. Request for Information (RFI) W912HQ-17-SN-0001 Navigation Data and Systems: Analytical and Professional Support Services THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE FOR THE UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS (USACE), INSTITUTE FOR WATER RESOURCES (IWR) IN ALEXANDRIA, VA. This announcement is made by the US Army Corps of Engineer's Humphreys' Engineer Center Support Activity (HECSA), the IWR's cognizant Contracting Office, and is part of a market research effort to assess industry capabilities that will best address the Government's needs with regard to the planned execution of a Navigation Data and Systems Analytical and Professional Support Services contract. It is anticipated that this effort will result in the award of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple-Award Task Order (MATOC) contract with a Base Year plus four (4) Option Years. The estimated price ceiling for this requirement is approximately $48M. The Institute for Water Resources (IWR) was formed 47 years ago to provide the USACE Civil Works Program with the capability to analyze and anticipate emerging Navigation trends and issues facing our nation. From its beginnings, one of the core missions of IWR has been to support the Corps Navigation program, including both deep and shallow draft coastal and inland systems in the United States and worldwide. Navigation is the largest Corps Business Line, in terms of value, representing about 45 percent of the Corps Civil Works budget. IWR has been tackling the Navigation data and systems challenges coming from an ever increasing demand for products and services transported by water. As such, there remains a compelling need for analytical and professional support to pursue innovative approaches to solving these new problems. IWR is a Field Operating Activity (FOA) under the supervision and direction of the Deputy Commanding General for Civil and Emergency Operations (DCG-CEO) and Director of Civil Works (DCW) for USACE. IWR's challenging mission remains integral to shaping the evolution of Federal Navigation policy as decision-makers at all levels within USACE look to IWR for insights into a host of complex physical, economic, environmental and social issues. HECSA is seeking information on companies that have the capability to provide technical and analytical support services for the Institute for Water Resources that is generally not available within the USACE. The scope of this effort is intended to encompass all aspects of the Civil Works Navigation mission area and other mission areas that connect with Navigation (including Flood Risk Management, Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration, Hydropower, Regulatory, Recreation, and Water Supply, etc.) as well as support to this USACE mission. The primary contractor support services required are in the following performance area requirements (functional areas): 1. Navigation Studies and Assessments (PWS Part 3.1) 2. Navigation Decision Support Systems and Tools (PWS Part 3.2) 3. Navigation Data, Collection and Analytical Methodologies, Tools, and Models (PWS Part 3.3) 4. Navigation Outreach, and Training Services (PWS Part 3.4) 5. Decision Support, Analyses, and Assessments (PWS Part 3.5) 6. Future Directions Assessments (PWS Part 3.5) The level of support required varies by each task order, however, in many cases future task orders will require an integration of expertise from a wide variety of these functional areas. USACE is requesting two (2) specific areas of information be supplied by interested vendors: 1.
