REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

SEADAT Upgrade

Introduction

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), a Federal bureau within the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), serves as regulator for all energy and mineral extraction operations and has been the lead federal agency charged with improving safety and ensuring environmental protection related to the offshore energy industry, primarily oil and natural gas, on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Within BSEE, the Technology Services Division (TSD) performs planning, management, and acquisition of information technology and information resources directly supporting BSEE and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and oversees the automation of business and regulatory functions for both. BSEE-TSD has developed and currently maintains the SEADAT, a web application that provides a user-friendly method to quickly and accurately assess the impacts to offshore oil and gas production when pipelines break, platforms are damaged, onshore gas plants are offline, etc. SEADAT assists BSEE managers in determining the loss of OCS oil and gas production caused by hurricane damage to quickly identify and evaluate options available to reduce the impacts to the Nation during such crises.

Background

BSEE has invested in ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Portal, and ArcGIS Maps SDK as the platform for transitioning its SEADAT application which is built on end-of-life technology. This solution can take advantage of technologies at no additional licensing or hardware cost to the Bureau. By leveraging existing technological assets comprising the IT architecture, BSEE in partnership with its customers can deliver modern, secure, cost-effective information management and technology solutions that support the Bureaus’ missions and priorities.

The goal of the SEADAT Upgrade Project is to modernize the SEADAT application to use the latest to be deployed on the BSEE ArcGIS Enterprise platform.

Purpose

This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to obtain information to assist in the upgrade of BSEE’s SEADAT application using the ArcGIS Maps SDK.
