About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mission Support Battalion is conducting a sources sought notice to identify industry capabilities for the Remaining Items – Technical Assistance and Coordination Outcomes Database (RI-TACOd), a cloud-based system supporting three USACE Civil Works programs: the National Flood Risk Management Program (NFRMP), Floodplain Management Services (FPMS), and Planning Assistance to States (PAS). The procurement involves operation and maintenance services as well as modernization of the RI-TACOd system, including database development and maintenance for DynamoDB and PostgreSQL, web-based data entry interface enhancements using ReactJS, REST web service development for Power BI and ArcGIS Portal integration, cybersecurity compliance coordination, system documentation, and technical assistance to program managers. Required qualifications include extensive experience with AWS cloud environments, relational database design, web application development, geospatial services, Agile methodology, and Section 508 compliance, along with the ability to obtain Contractor Access Card (CAC) credentials and pass background investigations. The Government will evaluate responses based on the adequacy of the submitted Statement of Qualifications, relevant experience, key personnel qualifications, and for large businesses, demonstrated experience working with small business subcontractors. Interested sources must submit completed questionnaires and Statements of Qualifications by April 14, 2026, with questions directed to Contract Specialist Shanti Singh (Shanti.Singh@usace.army.mil) or Contracting Officer David A. Kaplan (david.a.kaplan@usace.army.mil or 703-428-8487).
This is a sources sought notice for market research purposes only and is not a formal request for proposals, meaning no reimbursement will be provided for response preparation costs and the Government is not obligated to inform respondents of survey results. No set-aside designation has been applied at this time; however, the Government will evaluate whether the requirement is suitable for a total or partial small business set-aside based on the pool of qualified small business responses, potentially including designations such as 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB, and HUBZone. The anticipated contract structure includes a 12-month base period for operation and maintenance activities with multiple 12-month option tasks for modernization efforts, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The Government anticipates award using FAR 12 as supplemented by FAR 13 and 15 as appropriate and will not rank submissions as part of this market research phase. All developed code, documentation, and data will become government property hosted within USACE's AWS GOV cloud environment, and contractor personnel must identify themselves as contractor employees performing non-personal services without direct government supervision.
Notice text
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mission Support Battalion (UMSB) is seeking information from industry to determine the capabilities of industry and determine interested sources for a new requirement. This is a Sources Sought Notice for Market Research purposes only. This is not a request for proposals. The Government will not reimburse for any costs incurred to submit a response to this Sources Sought Notice. The Government reserves the right to reject in whole, or in part, any private sector input as a result of this market survey. The Government is not obligated to inform respondents of the results of this survey.
It is anticipated that a contract will be award using RFO FAR 12 as supplemented by RFO FAR 13 and 15 as appropriate. Interested sources should respond to the attached questionnaire and submit a Statement of Qualifications to help facilitate the Government's market research. The Government will analyze all of the responses and determine if this requirement is suitable to do a total or partial set-aside for small businesses.
If the pool of small businesses is insufficient, the Government may elect to solicit this requirement using full and open competitive procedures. The Government does not intend to rank submissions.
The Institute for Water Resources (IWR) is a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Field Operating Activity (FOA) located within the Washington, DC National Capital Region (NCR), in Alexandria, VA and with satellite centers in New Orleans, LA; Davis, CA; Lakewood, CO; and Pittsburgh, PA. IWR was created in 1969 to analyze and anticipate changing water resources management conditions, and to develop planning methods and analytical tools to address economic, social, institutional, and environmental needs in water resources planning and policy. IWR is currently responsible for several water resources activities or programs, including evaluation of Civil Works (CW) strategic plans, CW policies and programs, investment and financial analysis, performance measurements and evaluations, infrastructure analysis, climate change and other water related activities. IWR provides technical assistance to USACE divisions, districts, laboratories, as well as other Federal agencies, international organizations, financial institutions, and partner countries. Assistance encompasses a broad range of topic areas related to levee and dam safety, risk assessment, dredging requirements, port/waterway transport, aquatic ecosystem restoration, environmental stewardship, flood and drought risk management, emergency preparedness, watershed planning, regulatory, multipurpose water resources including hydroelectric power, water supply and reallocation, recreation, and other water and related land resources issues.
The Remaining Items (RI) Technical Assistance and Coordination Outcomes (TACO) database, RI-TACOd, was developed in 2022 and directly supports program managers and users of the National Flood Risk Management Program (NFRMP), Floodplain Management Services (FPMS), and Planning Assistance to States (PAS) programs. The relational database application resides within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) GOV cloud, which is managed by USACE’s Civil Works Business Intelligence (CWBI) program. RI-TACOd uses AWS cloud-native tools and open-source technical solutions. The tool serves as the primary mechanism to gather and record project/study proposals for the NFRMP, FPMS, and PAS programs. This includes collecting proposals, ranking/prioritizing for eligibility, selecting for funding, tracking and reporting progress, and mission closeout. The AWS tools and scripts provide users with the means to submit their information, and program managers with the ability to manage and evaluate the process throughout its lifecycle. With RI-TACOd now deployed, USACE has identified operation and maintenance (O&M) tasks that are necessary for the database to continue to thrive, as well as new development tasks to help advance the tool to its next phase of existence.
It is anticipated that a firm fixed price task order will be awarded to Contractor to provide support to the Government for modernization of RI-TACOd.
