About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation has issued a Special Notice for an aerial snow survey contract. The agency intends to award a purchase order to Airborne Snow Observatories, Inc. to acquire spatial snow depth measurements, albedo measurements, and accurate estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE) across three Sierra Nevada watersheds. This is a sole-source procurement under FAR 13.106, as the government has determined that Airborne Snow Observatories, Inc. is the only responsible source that can meet the agency's requirements.
The purpose of this aerial snow survey is to provide data that will be used to improve National Weather Service runoff forecasts in California. The contractor must conduct one survey in each watershed between May 1 and June 15, 2024, capturing over 95% of the snow-covered area above 6,000 feet elevation. The data must meet or exceed the standards of the NASA Airborne Snow Observatory methodology. Responses demonstrating the ability to meet the Performance Work Statement requirements are due by April 3, 2024. The government will consider all responses received by the due date, and a determination not to compete this proposed action is solely within the discretion of the government.
