View moreThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District, intends to issue a Request for Proposal for the establishment of a plains snowpack and soil moisture monitoring network within the Upper Missouri River Basin in Wyoming. This project supports the broader Mesonet Program, which utilizes a mesoscale network of automated environmental monitoring sites across Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price, single-award task order contract (SATOC) on a sole-source basis to the University of Wyoming (UWYO) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). This indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract carries a five-year base ordering period with an anticipated award date of September 25, 2020.
The scope of work includes upgrading equipment at five existing monitoring stations operated by the University of Wyoming Mesonet office and installing standardized instrumentation at approximately 81 new sites once identified. The university is responsible for site selection, obtaining real estate access through established landowner relationships, and performing the installation and long-term maintenance of the network. The objective is to standardize data collection across the 270,000-square-mile plains area of the Upper Missouri River Basin to ensure data integrity for management decisions. The University of Wyoming is the proposed contractor due to its existing infrastructure, technical protocols, and familiarity with Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) requirements.
This federal opportunity is identified under solicitation number W9128F20R0089 and is classified under NAICS 924120 for Administration of Conservation Programs and PSC 6660 for Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus. Although intended as a sole-source award, the agency will consider proposals from all responsible sources submitted by the September 18, 2020, response deadline. The place of performance is located throughout Wyoming, and the procurement is managed by the USACE Omaha District under civil program financing.
