Notice of intent to award a sole source procurement: developing water quality methods for riverware

Added: Dec 07, 2015 6:21 pm Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, it is the Government's intent to award a sole source service contract to the ANDERHOLM HYDROLOGY LLC to provide water quality modeling for the Upper Middle Rio Grande Water Operations Model (URGWOM). THIS IS NOT A FORMAL SOLICITATION. This synopsis is not considered a Request for Quotation or Proposal. No solicitation document is available, and telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation will not be honored. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. All responses received within 15 days will be considered. If no affirmative written response is received, the service contract will be awarded without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed service contract is based on the fact that ANDERHOLM HYDROLOGY LLC is the only firm capable and authorized to give the necessary support. The URGWOM Water Quality Technical Team requires very specific expertise in water quality modeling that supports the USACE objective. This expertise would include historical program and data experience in order to effectively assist the URGWOM Technical Team with its ongoing program mission and to meet the contract period of performance with little supervision and training. Award of this service contract will be based upon FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) "When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source...", as well as the possible responses to this notice, and is solely within the discretion of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted to the following email address no later than 2:00 PM (MST) 22 December 2015: karen.k.irving@usace.army.mil.
