The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, is conducting market research to identify qualified small business contractors capable of providing specialized Hydrological Database (HDB) technical support, maintenance, development, documentation, and cybersecurity-compliant software services. The HDB is an Oracle-based database system used by Bureau of Reclamation offices to collect, store, manage, quality-control, retrieve, and distribute vital hydrologic and operational data. The anticipated IDIQ will provide on-call technical support and allow Reclamation to issue task orders for maintenance, malfunction resolution, enhancements, application development, documentation, and related HDB services.
• Advanced knowledge of HDB database architecture, relationships, DECODES, and the Computational Processor is required.
• Expert-level Oracle database operations, maintenance, administration, and programming experience is necessary.
• Ability to maintain a secure, centralized, and transferable knowledge base containing architecture documentation, annotated source code, configuration guides, installation scripts, and training materials is needed.
• Sufficient staffing and availability to provide continuity of support throughout a five-year ordering period and to respond to concurrent requirements from multiple Reclamation offices is required.
