The Performance Work Statement outlines a non-personnel services contract for software enhancements for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Corps Water Management System (CWMS). It emphasizes the transition from 32 independent databases to a single cloud-based system that integrates public and private data. The main focus is on developing an updated authorization scheme for accessing and managing this data through a Java-based REST API. Key objectives include establishing permissions for read, write, delete, create, and update actions for various data objects. The contract specifies tasks such as reviewing current database and API functionality, developing a detailed authorization plan, and implementing the selected method. Requirements include secure user management, an intuitive web interface for non-technical users, and robust cyber-attack defenses. The project aims to enhance USACE's capabilities in hydrologic engineering and water resources management, ensuring effective data access control while supporting decision-making processes. The document serves as a comprehensive guide for potential contractors in response to federal RFPs, detailing necessary programmatic changes and the strategic significance of CWMS for national water resource management.

The document is a combined synopsis/solicitation for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, requesting proposals for the development and implementation of authorization updates for the Corps Water Management System (CWMS) database. It aims to transition from independent, isolated systems to a unified cloud-based system, enhancing data management and access control using a new authorization scheme. The contract, set as a total small business set-aside, requires detailed proposals outlining a technical approach, management plan, past performance examples, and pricing. Proposals should address the ability to authorize various data manipulation permissions and establish user roles accordingly. Evaluation factors include the technical approach, management and transition plans, past performance, and pricing, with technical aspects being prioritized. The period of performance is 270 days, and proposals must be submitted electronically by March 20, 2025. The document emphasizes the importance of developing a detailed technical proposal, clearly delineating roles and responsibilities, and offering evidence of relevant past performance. Compliance with established regulations and deadlines is critical for proposal acceptance. Overall, the solicitation underscores the Army's commitment to advancing its water resources management capabilities through improved database systems.
