New merp EM track

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Acquisition Branch is seeking ongoing operations and maintenance services for MERP EM Track, a critical enterprise application that enables centralized oversight and accountability for emergency management planning and response to natural disasters. This application allows USGS staff to store and manage emergency response plans, activities, reviews, and corrective actions across hundreds of facilities, providing transparency and ensuring USGS accountability to the American public. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and PSC code DA01 for IT and telecom business application development support services. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) includes five option line items for labor services supporting this critical emergency management system. The solicitation was posted on September 3, 2025, with a due date of September 1, 2025, indicating this may be an urgent or time-sensitive procurement.

This procurement is not designated as a small business set-aside, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of size. The contract structure includes a base period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with potential option periods that could extend the total contract duration through August 31, 2030, representing a five-year maximum contract term. Delivery is scheduled for July 31, 2026, with anticipated option exercise dates ranging from August 20, 2026, to August 17, 2029. The procurement focuses on labor services rather than goods, indicating the contractor will provide skilled personnel to maintain and operate this enterprise-level emergency management application. No specific incumbent contractor or award values are mentioned in the available documentation, though the multi-year structure and critical nature of the application suggest this represents a significant investment in emergency preparedness infrastructure.
