This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations/proposals are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

DESCRIPTION The US Geological Survey - Earthquake Science Center requires a Telemetry System Improvement Project as described in the attached SOW. The USGS seeks an independent assessment of communication systems for seismic data telemetry and center-to-center communication used by the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning (EEW) system. The assessment will evaluate current and planned systems in terms of reliability, robustness, maintainability, and cost in the missions of delivering low latency seismic data and maintaining message flows between ShakeAlert centers. The goal of this project is an outside analysis of telecommunications in ShakeAlert leading to a plan in which USGS management and funding agencies can have confidence as a well-researched and validated path to a reliable and robust ShakeAlert system. All services will be performed at the vendor facility. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and associated size standard of $16.50 million apply to this announcement, along with Product Service Code B529 (Special Studies/Analysis - Scientific Data).

All proposal documents required by this solicitation must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than 12/23/2020 at 1700 PT. Proposals submitted by hardcopy or any web portal shall not be accepted or considered. Offerers are to include a technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation as seen in the Evaluation Factors as seen in the attachment. This may include product literature, references, or other documents, if necessary.
