Description
Notice of Intent This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), intends to award a purchase order to Groom Analytics, Corvallis, OR for statistical analysis of data pertaining to spatial and temporal responses to hydrological and ecological drought as described in the attached Statement of Work. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Groom Analytics is, to the USGS' knowledge, the only source after review of capability statements in response to the Sources Sought posting who has the experience in hydrology, ecology, and statistics, including analyses on stream temperature time series uniquely suited to the required services. The NAICS code for this action is 541690, Other Scientific & Technical Consulting Services. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation by the closing date of this announcement which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to dallan-loucks@usgs.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than 06/29/2021 1500 ES. Responses submitted by hardcopy shall not be accepted or considered. Statement of Work: I. GENERAL INFORMATION The principal objective of services required of the contractor involves statistical analysis of spatial and temporal variability in ecological and hydrological responses to climate variability and drought. More specifically, the USGS has been working to collect information on drought based on remote sensing, ground-based observations, and modeling to produce time series of responses from many locations within a given watershed. Services requested will involve detailed statistical analysis to provide a more integrated understanding of how different components of hydrological and ecological systems within a watershed respond to drought over time and across locations. II. WORK REQUIREMENTS TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: Required services will include an initial phase to provide a description of the spatial and temporal nature of each hydrologic and ecological response to climate variability and drought. Specifically, this analysis will include assessments of temporal synchrony, spatial coherence, and space-time dependencies across multiple responses to hydrologic drought. The contractor will discuss a range of alternative statistical analyses to address these needs with USGS before a final set of analyses is identified. This initial phase may be followed by one or two option years to conduct follow-on analyses. Option years are dependent on results from the initial phase of analyses, and available funding. The contractor�s compliance will be ensured or measured through regular meetings scheduled to track progress. DELIVERABLES: The contractor will provide 1) the original dataset as organized to conduct analyses, 2) description of methods and results of model predictions, parameter estimates or other findings related to agreed-upon statistical analyses, 3) graphical summaries of results in a form suitable for publication in a scientific report or journal. Products will be delivered electronically or via USB or other media agreed to by the Technical Liaison.
