Contract Opportunity Analysis

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Department of Commerce, is seeking a one-year lease for Real Time Research, Inc.’s proprietary cloud-based data collection and distribution system to support NOAA Fisheries data operations. The work covers use of the system at the Lower Granite Dam adult fish trap, including touch-screen data entry, synchronization to a centralized RTR database, and a web-based portal for managing and distributing adult salmonid data. The system is described as custom-built to meet long-standing data rules and relationships, and it supports data handling for six state and federal agencies; the contemplated award is a firm-fixed-price sole-source purchase order. This is a presolicitation notice, not a request for competitive proposals, and interested firms may submit written substantiating documentation or requests for information before the SAM posting deadline, with award currently anticipated for June 2026.

AI Summary
NOAA Fisheries requires a one-year lease, with four option years, for Real Time Research, Inc.'s (RTR) proprietary cloud-based data collection and distribution system. This system is crucial for managing adult salmonid data at the Lower Granite Dam, serving six state and federal agencies. Developed by RTR in 2011, the system enables touch-screen data entry, synchronization with a centralized RTR database, and a web-based portal for data management. This arrangement allows NOAA to avoid managing the system directly while ensuring efficient and timely data dissemination, a method that has proven effective and cost-efficient since its inception.
