Summary
NOAA (Western Acquisition Division) issued a presolicitation for non-personal services to modify and continue development of a custom NOAA C++ program (COMPASS) that predicts effects of dam and reservoir operations on juvenile salmon and steelhead. The work includes completing a GUI, adding an adult passage module, expanding tributary travel time and survival, improving performance, and providing routine maintenance. The notice indicates the agency intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order, currently identified as a sole-source/simplified acquisition action with an anticipated award in June 2026.
