The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity (HECSA) is seeking information from industry to determine the capabilities of industry and determine interested sources for a new requirement. This is a Sources Sought Notice for Market Research purposes only. This is not a request for proposals. The Government will not reimburse for any costs incurred to submit a response to this Sources Sought Notice. The Government reserves the right to reject in whole, or in part, any private sector input as a result of this market survey. The Government is not obligated to inform respondents of the results of this survey. It is anticipated that a contract will be award using FAR Part 13 - Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested sources should respond to the attached questionnaire and submit a Statement of Qualifications to help facilitate the Government's market research. The Government will analyze all of the responses and determine if this requirement is suitable to do a total or partial set-aside for small businesses. If the pool of small businesses is insufficient, the Government may elect to solicit this requirement using full and open competitive procedures. The Government does not intend to rank submissions. Description of the Requirement: The contractor will provide support to USACE's Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) by assisting in activities associated with development of EFM Mapper and software maintenance and minor enhancements to HEC java software related to ecosystems code. HEC java software related to ecosystems support a diverse set of tasks related to USACE water management, ecosystem restoration, and natural resource management missions. HEC-RPT (Regime Prescription Tool) is used to help groups of scientists, engineers, and water managers access hydrologic data and draft flow recommendations while formulating different ways to manage rivers. HEC-EFM Plotter (Ecosystem Functions Model) facilitates access to analyses of ecosystem restoration alternatives. HEC-EFMSim simulates and tracks the status of natural resources under different environmental and management scenarios. Performance of the contract must be completed by a firm that has extensive software development skills with an emphasis on civil engineering, including emphasis on environmental and water resources tools and analyses. This skill set needs to include knowledge of water resources engineering in the context of the USACE (United States Army Corps of Engineers) mission requirements for hydrologic simulation, statistical analysis, and 1D and 2D hydraulic simulation, and a high level of knowledge and experience with the software code utilized for this work. The firm’s professional staff of engineers, mathematicians, and computer programmers will need to possess the hydrologic, statistical, and hydraulic modeling and programming skill set needed to support. See the PWS and the attached Questionnaire for additional information.
