The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers awarded an indefinite delivery contract to South Dakota State University to establish a network of stations to monitor snowpack and soil moisture throughout the plains area of the Upper Missouri River Basin. The contract has a potential value of $12.8 million with performance through September 2025. Under this IDV, SDSU has received multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to upgrade existing monitoring stations, install new stations, and conduct ongoing monitoring and data collection services. Delivery orders have been awarded for site work in Brookings, South Dakota as well as monitoring in the states of South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Montana, totaling over $5 million to date. As the land grant university and division of the South Dakota Board of Regents, SDSU leverages its expertise in hydrology and experience operating the South Dakota Mesonet to support the Corps' water resource management programs through the collection and analysis of climate and soil moisture data. The originating pre-solicitation notice indicates the Corps intends for this IDV to standardize instrumentation across 139 existing stations operated by SDSU and install equipment at approximately 100 new sites to be identified. By designating SDSU as the sole source contractor, the Corps benefits from SDSU's technical capabilities, established landowner relationships, and existing infrastructure for ongoing network operations and maintenance. Delivery orders awarded against this IDV provide further details on specific monitoring services, locations, and periods of performance.
