SECTION C

DESCRIPTION/ STATEMENT OF WORK

IDIQ Contract for COTS Geological Interpretive Tools (GIT) Technology and Subsurface

Interpretation Technology

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) manages the exploration and development of the Nation's offshore resources in conjunction with Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). It seeks to appropriately balance economic development, energy independence, and environmental protection through oil and gas leases, carbon storage, marine minerals, renewable energy development and environmental reviews and studies. The Resource Evaluation Program supports all BOEM program areas through critical technical and economic analysis. Resource Evaluation functions are carried out by personnel across the United States of America.

BOEM’s intent is to re-evaluate Geological Interpretive Tools (GIT) and subsurface interpretation technology utilized by BOEM and BSEE offices in New Orleans, Camarillo, Anchorage, Sterling, and remote employees. GIT applications are commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) geoscience, petrophysical, geophysical and engineering software applications focused on subsurface characterization and petroleum exploration and production (E&P) analysis. GIT is an integral technology for BOEM/BSEE that provides the applications and infrastructure for mission critical functions, including:

• Shallow Hazard Analysis

• Subsurface Interpretation

• Petrophysical Analysis

• Data Management and Integration

• Reservoir Simulation and Engineering

• Geophysical and Geological Modeling

• Geomechanical Modeling

• Seismic Inversion

• 3D Visualization

• Carbon Sequestration Plume Modeling and Simulation

• Sand Sediment Resource Analysis

GIT ensures that BOEM and BSEE have the capability to evaluate seismic reflectivity data (2D, 3D, 4D, Post-Stack & Pre-Stack), borehole data (wireline logs, LWD logs, core evaluations), gravimetric measurements and magnetic field data, as well as other technical data using state-of the-art techniques similar to those employed by commercial offshore operators. GIT enables BOEM/BSEE to perform the sophisticated analysis routinely done by industry which, in turn, allows for timely evaluations and resource management. GIT also enables BOEM/BSEE to possess the information technology (IT) tools necessary to ensure proper decisions for mission critical functions. The Federal Government and the general public also benefit from timely Fair Market Value evaluations to expedite the movement of funds from rents and bonuses into the U.S.

RFP No. 140M0124R0006 for GIT Technology Page 9 of 65

Treasury. The analyses performed by BOEM and BSEE through GIT support the analysis of potential impacts of policy options, legislative proposals, NEPA, the development of the National Oil and Gas Leasing Program, and industry activities affecting OCS.

C.2 PURPOSE

The purpose is to enter into one or several single indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts for COTS GIT technology utilized by BOEM and BSEE offices in New Orleans, Camarillo, Anchorage, Sterling, and remote employees. Contractors are not required to provide the full suite of technical solutions as described in the scope but must provide at least one that can integrate into other industry standard COTS solutions.

The objective is to purchase a cost-effective solution to maintain and modernize the current GIT technology in accordance with the DOI Cloud Smart Strategy (www.doi.gov/cloud/strategy ) and Federal Cloud Smart Strategy (Strategy | Federal Cloud Computing Strategy (www.cio.gov/policies-and-priorities/cloud-smart/)). This entails either hosting licenses and software on premise, on a DOI virtual infrastructure hosted in a DOI private cloud or, if the solution is Software as a Service (SaaS), the SaaS solution must be FEDRAMP certified (How to Become FedRAMP Authorized | FedRAMP.gov (www.fedramp.gov/agency-authorization/)) and Security FAQs | U.S. Department of the Interior (www.doi.gov/cloud/faq)) allowing BOEM the ability to host proprietary data and information at a FISMA moderate level in the Contractor’s cloud environment. Contractors shall be able to provide for the acquisition of COTS geoscience, geophysical, or engineering software applications as either a lease, subscription, or purchase and maintenance. Potential Contractors are not required to provide a full suite of technical solutions as described in the scope and can select to respond to as many or few requirements as preferred.

C.3 SCOPE OF WORK

Below is an overview of the Scope of the IDIQ contract for which task orders may be issued against.

The Contractor must have the ability to provide COTS geoscience, geophysical, reservoir simulation and engineering software applications, maintenance, technical support, software and non-software consulting services, and training to meet the requirements of BOEM and BSEE. The Contractor shall have the ability to furnish an on-premise solution in addition to a software environment as a service (e.g. SaaS/DaaS/PaaS), or allow a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment to be built by the government around the COTS software solution.

The transition plan shall be written so that it can be initiated and fully implemented within a reasonable amount of time. The Transition Plan shall discuss training for BOEM geoscientists and engineers, software installation guidance, and software licenses during the transition period. The Transition Plan should also include a detailed description of how existing BOEM projects and data will be migrated into the new software applications and cloud solution.

Current licenses must be maintained on-prem until transition is complete.

A training plan shall be submitted for competence in key functions of the proposed solution. The training plan should include all core training and recommended optional training for an individual to competently perform tasks outlined in Sections C.4.1 through C.4.9.

C.5 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

To leverage existing and future investments in IT infrastructure and software, the technology must be compliant with the DOI Cloud Smart strategy (www.doi.gov/cloud/strategy ) as well as existing http://www.doi.gov/cloud/strategy

RFP No. 140M0124R0006 for GIT Technology Page 17 of 65 on-prem infrastructure. The current system utilizes client/server architecture that includes Linux based Oracle database servers, Network Appliance file servers, Dell T7920, Precision 7780, M8800 laptop workstations running Windows 11, and Dell Latitude E5490 personal computers as clients running Windows 11. The software applications run on individual laptops, which currently have 64-bit Windows on a 2.6GHz processor with 32 – 128 GB RAM.

The current environment is assembled around both a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN) using a combination of Ethernet and fiber optic communication lines. The architecture utilizes both on-line and near-line data storage in a network attached storage (NAS) configuration. System architecture may change in parallel with available technology or due to IT security requirements as mandated by DOI. All software must maintain compatibility with changes in BOEM/BSEE system architecture throughout the life of the contract, provided that such changes are aligned with the documented Contractor’s recommended specifications.

The current data management philosophy is based on the master data store to project concept. The master data store is the primary repository for corporate data in BOEM and BSEE and is a combination of an Oracle-based relational database and related files. The master data store includes TIMS (Technical Information Management System), which includes NCIS and PPDM. Other software applications (Studio) are populated from the corporate database and are used to stage data for use within interpretation software. The corporate datastore is continually updated. Any quoted software solution must provide an efficient means to access and transfer the data (ASCII, LAS, SEG-Y) from the corporate datastore (TIMS), into mid-tier data staging environments, then into interpretation projects.

As new technologies develop and are acquired, compatibility between the software applications becomes a concern. To maintain software compatibility, any software obtained should adhere to industry standards. The Contractor must indemnify the Government against any loss of functionality of the acquired software applications due to the discontinuance of a product during the term of the requirement.
