HURREVAC Operations, Maintenance, Development and Training 2019

Notice of Intent to Sole Source
USACE, Baltimore District intends to sole source the FY19 Hurricane Evacuation (HURREVAC) requirement to Sea Island Software, Inc. The purpose of this acquisition is to procure continued operation, maintenance, program development, and training support through the use of the HURREVAC software. HURREVAC software has been used by
Government Emergency Managers to assist their hurricane evacuation decision making. HURREVAC is a restricted-use, not commercially available, real time computer software program. Its intent is for Government emergency managers to both track hurricanes and get real-time forecast information, and to provide evacuation timing guidance for communities based on information developed during the Hurricane Evacuation Studies (HES) process, and real-time forecast data distributed by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). The program provides a common operating picture to support hurricane response across all levels of Government. HURREVAC has over 18,000 registered Government users at all levels.
Sea Island Software is the developer of the HURREVAC program. They are responsible for operation and maintenance, upgrade and training of the program. Sea Island Software is the only known entity with the technical operational knowledge of the program, including critical programming and data feed requirements, as well as advanced meteorological experience.
In accordance with FAR part 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements for these services.
This notice is NOT a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. Capability statements must be received by the response date and time of this notice. Submissions will be reviewed to determine if they can meet the requirement. A determination by the
Government to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
It is anticipated that a Request for Proposal will be issued to Sea Island Software, Inc. within approximately fifteen (15) days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines that any other organization has the capacity to meet this requirement. The approved Justification and Approval, (J & A), for this requirement is attached.
