View moreThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, issued this pre-solicitation notice for the establishment of a plains snowpack and soil moisture monitoring network within the Upper Missouri River Basin. The project involves installing standardized equipment at approximately 30 new and existing sites across Nebraska to support the Mesonet Program, a mesoscale network of automated weather and environmental monitoring stations. This initiative aims to maintain data integrity and consistency for management decisions across the 270,000-square-mile plains area. The requirement is classified under NAICS 924120, Administration of Conservation Programs, and PSC 6660, Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus.
The agency intends to award a five-year, Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract on a sole-source basis to the University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL) under solicitation number W9128F20R0088. UNL currently owns, operates, and maintains the existing Nebraska sites and possesses the specialized infrastructure, technical protocols, and landowner relationships necessary to identify new sites and secure real estate access. While UNL is the proposed sole-source contractor due to their unique inherent knowledge and existing support from agencies like NOAA and USBR, the government will consider proposals from all responsible sources submitted by the September 18, 2020, deadline.
Performance will take place in Nebraska with an anticipated award date of September 25, 2020. The selected contractor is responsible for selecting new sites, installing standardized instrumentation, and ensuring data transmission to support the broader Upper Missouri River Basin monitoring efforts. This Single Award Task Order Contract focuses on leveraging existing site-specific knowledge to minimize mobilization costs and prevent delays in data collection. The primary point of contact for this requirement is Wayne Weidenhamer.
