Aquaveo LLC

Aquaveo LLC is a Provo, Utah-based water resources software and engineering consulting firm that specializes in developing advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modeling systems for federal agencies. The company operates as a limited liability company and has maintained active federal contracting status since its registration in SAM.gov on April 2, 2007. Aquaveo provides specialized expertise in computational modeling platforms that support critical government missions including water resource management, flood control, infrastructure planning, and environmental initiatives, serving agencies that range from the Army Corps of Engineers to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Through its federal contract awards, Aquaveo LLC has demonstrated extensive experience delivering programming and graphical user interface development services, software licensing, and technical enhancements to water resources modeling systems. The company's primary deliverables have centered on feature updates and restructuring of three core modeling platforms: the Surface Water Modeling System (SMS), Groundwater Modeling System (GMS), and Watershed Modeling System (WMS). Contract awards from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center have comprised the majority of Aquaveo's contract work, including delivery orders valued at $1,018,804 (September 2025), $1,287,597 (August 2024), $119,799 for Coastal Modeling System enhancements (July 2024), $1,193,571 for SMS/WMS/GMS interface upgrades (September 2023), and $987,208 for feature updates and restructuring (September 2022). Beyond Corps contracts, Aquaveo has provided SMS software licenses to NOAA ($11,712 and $81,280 in separate purchase orders), the Federal Highway Administration ($16,040 for SMS licenses), and the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service ($12,040 for GMS software and licenses). The company has also supported NASA's Shared Services Center through a $14,000 small business set-aside purchase order for SERVIR-Central America Hydrology Subject Matter Expert services in August 2023. Additional contract work included hydrodynamic modeling services for the Army Corps of Engineers ($73,148) and various license renewals. The majority of Aquaveo's contract awards have been issued without small business set-aside designations, reflecting the company's competitive positioning in the federal marketplace, with the exception of two small business set-aside purchase orders from NASA and USDA.

Aquaveo LLC has secured prime federal grant funding through the National Science Foundation for the development and expansion of open-source ecosystem capabilities. In September 2023, the company received a Phase II grant award for "Establishing an Open-Source Ecosystem for Tethys Platform," a web framework designed to facilitate development, deployment, and hosting of communication tools that enable scientists, engineers, decision makers, first responders, and the general public to engage with scientific data. The Tethys Platform grant initiative, with completion scheduled for August 31, 2025, addresses the broader mission of improving communication of scientific research and enabling informed decision-making in natural disaster response, environmental policy, and natural resource management. Aquaveo also holds a federal grant sub-award from Brigham Young University, dated November 8, 2023, for "Advancing the NASA GeoGLOWS Toolbox for Regional Water Resources Management and Decision Support," which demonstrates the company's role in supporting broader research initiatives that leverage its water resources modeling expertise for decision support systems.

Aquaveo LLC holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center valued at $5,041,000 and awarded on March 15, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of March 14, 2026. This contract vehicle provides programming and graphical user interface development services for the Corps' water resources research and operational missions. Under this indefinite delivery contract, the Corps has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling approximately $3.981 million across six task orders since the award, with individual delivery orders ranging from $0.00 (minimum guarantee) to $1,287,597. The contract establishes a procurement framework for feature updates and restructuring of the Corps' core modeling platforms (SMS, GMS, and WMS), interface upgrades, hydrodynamic modeling services, and Coastal Modeling System enhancements. Primary performance locations are identified as Vicksburg, Mississippi and Provo, Utah, with the staggered issuance of task orders demonstrating ongoing utilization of the indefinite delivery vehicle to support the Corps' evolving water resources management and research requirements through incremental software development and modernization efforts.
