About this opportunity
NOAA's Western Acquisition Division intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Real Time Research, Inc. for a one-year lease of a cloud-based data collection and distribution system at the Lower Granite Dam adult fish trap, with responses to this pre-solicitation notice due June 3, 2026. The procurement is not set-aside and carries sole-source justification under FAR 12.102(a) and 41 U.S.C. 1901 based on the system's proprietary design and thirteen-year history of maintenance and customization specific to NOAA's operational requirements.
The system supports data collection from adult migratory salmonids across six state and federal agencies. Capabilities include touch-screen data entry at field collection stations, real-time synchronization to a centralized database, and web-based portal access for managers and collaborators to review and manage project information. Primary performance occurs at the contractor's facilities; visitor access to Lower Granite Dam is available only when accompanied by NOAA personnel. Personnel do not require access to classified DOC/NOAA data.
NOAA will retain ownership of all collected data; the contractor retains ownership of the platform. The contract structure includes four optional years beyond the initial one-year term.
Firms believing they can fully meet requirements may submit substantiating documentation or requests for additional information to Grace LaPierre (grace.lapierre@noaa.gov) or Jenna Taulman (jenna.taulman@noaa.gov) before the June 3 deadline. Such submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement competitively.
