Contractors must provide annual maintenance, including system testing, sensor calibration, firmware/software updates, and equipment cleaning.

This is a total small business set-aside contract under NAICS code 518210 with a $40 million size standard, to be awarded as a sole-sourced solicitation to OneRain (Longmont, CO), the original system installer. The contract period spans from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029, consisting of a one-year base period with four one-year option periods. The total contract value is $84,000 for the firm-fixed-price commercial service.

The place of performance will be at two remote sites associated with the Hult Dam in Springfield, Oregon, involving specialized telemetry system maintenance and data services.
