Delivery Order 140G0123D0005-140G0126F0060

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $760,484.86 firm fixed-price delivery order to Aquatic Informatics ULC for support and maintenance services related to the AQUARIUS Time Series component of the NWIS Modernization Project. This delivery order, which is Task Order 15 under the USGS's larger $39.6 million indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) with Aquatic Informatics running through April 2033, will be performed at the contractor's facility in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027. The award was made without a set-aside designation, indicating a competitive procurement process. Aquatic Informatics, a Canadian software company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, specializes in providing the AQUARIUS software-as-a-service platform for water data management and has been a key technology partner to the Department of the Interior since registering in the System for Award Management in 2005.

This delivery order supports the USGS's ongoing objectives to acquire, process, analyze, and disseminate hydrologic and environmental data through maintenance and support of the AQUARIUS Time Series functionality. Under the parent IDV, Aquatic Informatics provides an array of services including software licenses, maintenance, support services, custom software development, data migration, reporting, and training to enable the USGS to modernize its National Water Information System. Task orders issued under this vehicle have historically ranged from approximately $10,000 to over $1.2 million, reflecting the flexible nature of the contract in addressing the agency's varying water data management requirements across the federal government.
