This is a $96,200 firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants to Instrumental Software Technologies, Inc. (ISTI), a small business subchapter S corporation, for "SHAKE ALERT UPGRADES AND SUPPORT." The contract is not designated as a set-aside.
The award is associated with a larger $1.5 million single-award USGS contract with ISTI that is focused on supporting the Advanced National Seismic System, including the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning program. ISTI has proven expertise in providing specialized geophysical software development, maintenance, and technical support services to federal civilian agencies like the USGS. This purchase order will enable ISTI to continue enhancing and supporting the ShakeAlert system, which is critical national infrastructure for earthquake monitoring and early warning.
