- Description
- The US Geological Survey, Branch of Regional Research, Western Branch intends to award a sole source purchase order to Resources Management Associates (RMA) of Fairfield, CA, under the provisions of FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for firm-fixed price, non-personal services relating to modeling in support of a larger USGS / BOR project entitled "Pelagic Organism Decline/Habitat Study Group Investigations" (relating to the Sacramento/San Joaquin River Delta and Delta Science Programs) which is a long-term, ongoing project of the two agencies. Specifically, under this award it is anticipated that RMA will provide services which select from existing data for baseline modeling; use existing and modified RMA models to produce results including spatial maps and quantitative results and analyses; provide technical support associated with DSM2 modeling; and provide associated reports and analysis. Dr. Marianne Guerin of RMA is uniquely qualified to perform these modeling tasks based on her specific skills and experience with the particular matters of interest under study. Dr Guerin and RMA have been involved in this area of study since 2009 and this requirement builds upon the prior body of work developed by RMA and Dr. Guerin. Without knowledge of the prior data and detailed knowledge of the interrelationships of the particular aspects of the delta systems of concern, this award would require an unknown period of time for another contractor/vendor to assimilate the prior data, and come to the point of being in a position to begin the work under this award. RMA's current level of experience and knowledge is unique in this regard. Significant investment has already been made in developing the models and data to their existing state, and any other vendor would require a duplication efforts resulting in cost and schedule impacts. The added cost and schedule delays involved are not in the best interests of the government for this instant requirement. Estimated period of performance is: Date of Award - 3/31/2013. This requirement is being handled under the procedures of FAR Part 13 - Simplified Acquisition Procedures. FAR Part 12 (Commercial Services) provisions will be utilized in any resultant award. No solicitation will be issued, and the anticipated award date for this requirement is 9/19/2012. Interested parties may provide a capabilities statement to the Buyer via email not later than 9/17/2012 at 12 noon PDT.
