About this opportunity
The National Park Service awarded contract 140P2126P0039 to Aquatic Informatics for fiscal year 2026 Aquarius support and maintenance on a sole-source basis, with award date June 2, 2026.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.103-1(d), grounding the sole-source action in the absence of equivalent replacement software. NPS has relied on Aquarius since 2010 to manage over 2.4 billion water resource data results across 28,000 time series from 4,000 monitoring locations. The system contains proprietary databases and custom applications developed by NPS personnel; market research confirms no equivalent alternative exists. Migration to a replacement system would cost an estimated 4–5 times the annual renewal cost and incur substantial operational disruption from data migration, retraining, and redevelopment of custom applications and reports.
The acquisition covers 12-month annual support and maintenance for multiple product components: Aquarius WebPortal Server (Extra Large and Extra Server configurations), WebPortal Unbounded Enhancements, WebPortal Public Access Options, Time-Series Rating Tool Licenses (40 units), Time-Series Server (Extra Large), Time-Series User Licenses (40 units), DAS Express, and 50 Aquatic Academy User Subscriptions. Costs are established at 25 percent of the original software purchase price plus annual inflationary adjustment, calculated from previous acquisition history. The Contracting Officer is Christina Gingras; the Contracting Officer Representative is Dean Tucker, Natural Resource Specialist.
