The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District, intends to issue a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole source basis to Upstream Tech for commercial hydrologic and meteorological forecasting services. These services support the Water Management Section’s critical missions for the Green, White/Puyallup, and Kootenai River basins, which include standard reservoir regulation, seasonal water supply forecasting, dam safety, and real-time emergency flood-fighting operations. This requirement will be procured in accordance with RFO 12.102(a), which allows for solicitation from a single source when the contracting officer determines that only one source is reasonably available. The Product Service Code for this requirement is R427 (Support – Professional: Weather Reporting/Observation) and the NAICS code is 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with a size standard of $19.5 million. The Government has determined that Upstream Tech is the only source capable of providing the required services without unacceptable disruption, mission risk, and substantial duplication of cost. The required services include the generation and delivery of high-resolution, basin-specific meteorological and hydrological forecast data feeds. Market research confirms that Upstream Tech has unique qualifications, as its proprietary forecasting models, analytical tools, and automated data pipelines are deeply integrated into the District's daily water management operating procedures and Corps Water Management System (CWMS). A transition to an alternative vendor would require an estimated 12 to 18 months to develop, calibrate, and validate new models, which would introduce unacceptable risks to public safety and dam safety operations. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of identifying small business vendors with the capability to fulfill the requirement. The Government will not pay for any information received. Any firm that believes it can provide the stated service can provide supporting documents demonstrating their capabilities and specifications. Information received will be used primarily for market research purposes to determine the feasibility of competition for future requirements. Information can be sent to the Contract Specialist, Dwain Graham, at dwain.m.graham@usace.army.mil. This procurement will be made in accordance with RFO FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. | Pre-Solicitation | 10/30/2026 |

DESCRIPTION The Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) is the Congressionally designated lead entity within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), responsible for biometric identity services. The capability to match, store, share, and analyze biometric identity information includes OBIM’s operation, maintenance, and improvement of the central DHS biometric repository which is currently the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT), and in the future the in-development replacement system for IDENT, Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology (HART). OBIM provides DHS and its mission partners with biometric identity services that enable national security and public safety decision making. As one of the world’s largest biometric repositories, OBIM’s biometric system contains the identities of over 300 million individuals. OBIM Identity Operations Division (IOD) is seeking professional services to provide biometric examiners, multimodal biometric examiners and identity services to support OBIM with multimodal biometric accuracy and identity services expertise for the Biometric Accuracy Analysis Team (BAAT) and Biometric Support Center (BSC), to support OBIM’s current and future biometric capabilities. OBIM’s biometric system currently utilizes fingerprints, latent prints, face, and iris to support its biometric mission needs but expects the capabilities to expand to meet stakeholder needs in the future. The contractor shall provide multimodal biometric accuracy and identity services expertise to include: • Biometric examination services • Identity management capabilities and biometric support services • Biometric accuracy and quality analysis • Data analysis Government provided software will be used in support of this work effort. Software used may change during the course of the contract; however, the type of work will remain the same. The contractor shall provide multimodal biometric accuracy and identity services expertise to include: Biometric examination services for all modalities Identity management capabilities and biometric support services Biometric accuracy and quality analysis Data analysis In addition, as part of this effort, the Government expects: Innovative approaches to staffing in order to ensure resources are applied in the most efficient manner Application of industry best practices across all tasks Collaboration across BAAT and BSC teams to ensure mission needs are met and opportunities for efficiency improvements are identified The contractor is responsible for providing oversight of the work performed in accordance with the Project Management Plan and for establishing/maintaining a Quality Assurance program. Biometric Examiner and Identity Management Services Although OBIM’s biometric system is very accurate and executes hundreds of thousands of biometric services each day, BSC biometric examiners and analysts are needed to supplement the automated capabilities of the system, respond to stakeholder requests for biometrics identity services, and to maintain and improve the accuracy of the system through identity management tasks and in support of the BAAT accuracy activities. The contractor shall provide qualified personnel to support the Biometric Support Center (BSC) with the following duties: Analyze and compare biometric images to render identity decisions when the automated matchers are unable Resolve candidate lists generated by the automated system when biometrics are searched Prepare reports as needed to support examiner identity decision conclusions Correct biometric capture issues so that future matching is improved Maintain the identities within IDENT/HART through record reviews and analysis of biometric identity conflicts, errors, etc. Support stakeholder biometric service requests for those stakeholders who are not able to execute these requests through automated capabilities Provide subject matter expertise and technical support in support of BSC operations Note: The BSC is not a forensic laboratory; therefore, the scope of this work does not include the handling/processing of physical evidence. Biometric Accuracy and Data Analysis Additionally, the contractor shall provide data accuracy and quality analysis to manage the accuracy of biometric identity information. The government is expecting support for the Biometric Accuracy Analysis Team (BAAT) which is dedicated to the monitoring, analysis, reporting, and correction of the biometric data within the HART database. The contractor is responsible for providing data integrity analysis, reporting services and related analysis services, as required, for OBIM’s IOD. Support includes technical subject matter expertise, project management services as well as audit recommendations and advice on corrective actions and guidance to the field. The contractor shall also provide statistical analysis of system data to support requirements identification.

Enhance existing processes, infrastructure, and architecture to better support operations Support the maintenance and production of Microsoft Power Platform based applications Ensure adherence to record keeping protocols by leveraging existing methods and applying authorized process improvements methods Publish impactful findings to support best practices throughout OBIM and its stakeholders Attend conferences and meetings related to biometric knowledge sharing to support OBIM Establish metrics to enable a notification-based dashboard to support system monitoring Task Order Management The government expects: The establishment and maintenance of a roadmap that aligns the efforts of the BSC and BAAT with the broader Systems Business Operations Branch. The design, development, and integration of Microsoft Power Platform solutions, existing Excel reports, and the Pyramid Business Intelligence application to seamlessly dashboard key performance metrics. Routine coordination and planning between Key Personnel; Biometric Examiner Lead and Biometric Information Technology/Identification Systems Specialist to establish seamless methods of documenting, tracking, reporting, and supporting contractor activity. Ensure biometric examiner contractors are present and capable to sufficiently support specific BSC operations 24/7/365.
