- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Develop Center (ERDC) intends to negotiate and award a sole source contract to Oceanweather, Inc., 350 Bedford Street, Suite 404, Stamford, CT 06901-1742, to obtain winds and pressure fields for 600 synthetic storms and for three historic storms for the performance of a Joint Probability Analysis of coastal hazards for the Louisiana coastline.� These storms will fill in the gaps between the analysis done for the South Atlantic Comprehensive Study (SACS) and the Coastal Texas study which provided insight to the coastal preparedness of the coastal communities on either side of the Louisiana coastline.� �All wind/pressure specifications used in the Wave Information Study (WIS) have all been developed by Oceanweather, Inc. Therefore, Oceanweather, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of providing the wind/pressure inputs. Oceanweather, Inc. has over the past three decades supplied all wind/pressure inputs for the WIS effort and changing contractors would present a significant risk to the Government as the entire wind/pressure archives would have to be regenerated, and the entire WIS re-run. Long-term wave climatology needs to remain consistent and results from another contractor would therefore be of little to no use. The intent of this procurement is to award on a sole source basis under simplified acquisition procedures as authorized by FAR 13.5 - Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to Robyn.D.Wells@usace.army.mil no later than 5:00 pm CST on 24 June 2020.� A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. No RFP will be issued based upon this Notice of Intent. The NAICS code is 541690 and the business size standard is $15 million.
