Performance Work Statement (PWS) Application Development Services for Research and Development

1.0 Scope

The contractor shall provide a technical proposal in response to this sample task order PWS that includes all personnel, supervision, and services necessary to provide computer programming services to the ERDC ITL R&D mission. The period of performance is 6 months.

This will be a cost-plus fixed fee task order.

2.0 Location of Work

The technical proposal for this sample PWS shall be prepared with the contractor assuming that the work will be performed at their facilities and not on-site at a government site.

3 Performance Requirements The following section specifies the Performance Objectives and Performance Elements for the contract.

3.1 The Contractor shall perform, provide, and develop a software application for the project.

The goal of this project is to produce an application, which uses a map-based graphic user interface (GUI), to acquire environmental data from web services hosted by other sponsors (e.g., NOAA or USGS). The application should allow the user to select a region on the map and select the data service providers (e.g., USGS or NOAA) that host environmental data relevant to this problem. The application shall allow the user to see the locations of data sources that he is interested in, to select and download datasets, and to perform transformations on the data (e.g., conversion of units, reformat data for another application/purpose, visualize the data, etc.). The application shall read available metadata (location, max elevation, min elevation, etc.) from the environmental data and report this metadata to the user. The application shall allow the user to download the environmental data to their local computer. The application shall log the environmental data downloaded from the web service provides in a database.
