Nrss WRD-gnss-IR water level dashboard service - a

The National Park Service Alaska Regional Office seeks development of a GNSS-IR real-time water level dashboard service, with quotations due July 8, 2026. This procurement is a Total Small Business set-aside.

Place of performance is entirely virtual with no travel required. The contractor will ingest GNSS-IR data in RINEX 3 format from five National Park Service sites—Assateague Island National Seashore (Maryland), Cape Lookout National Seashore (North Carolina), Fort Raleigh National Historical Site (North Carolina), Everglades National Park (Florida), and Kotzebue (Alaska)—process the data using either an NPS-provided algorithm or the contractor's own methodology, correlate outputs with traditional water level recording stations to determine datum offsets, and deliver publicly accessible dashboards displaying near-real-time and historical water level measurements. The NAICS code is 541370, Surveying and Mapping Services, with a small business size standard of $19 million.

The estimated period of performance runs from August 1, 2026 through April 1, 2028, with a final delivery date of May 1, 2028. Evaluation criteria are technical capability (narrative, staff qualifications, subcontractor capabilities), experience (preferably three prior similar projects within the past five years with references), and total price (determined fair and reasonable). Payment is milestone-based: Task 1 (Cape Lookout pilot—30%), Task 2 (dashboard revisions—10%), Task 3 (remaining four sites—40%), Task 4 (one-year hosting—10%), and Task 5 (final technical report and service cost quotes—10%). Key milestones include a post-award coordination meeting within 15 days, initial dashboard delivery within 120 days, revisions within 30 days, remaining sites within 90 days of Task 2 completion, and final reporting within 45 days of Task 3 completion. Quotations must be submitted electronically to Ronald Bunch, Contracting Officer, at Ronald_bunch@ios.doi.gov. Amendment 001 extended the closing date from July 1 to July 8, 2026 and posted answers to vendor questions.
