WILDFIRE RESEARCH

WILDFIRE DATA RESEACHSources SoughtThe U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting market research to determine the availability of qualified SMALL BUSINESSES capable of providing wildfire research as described in the attached Statement of Work. This sources sought announcement is not a request for quote or proposal and the Government is not committed to award of a purchase order or contract pursuant to this announcement.

The purpose of this IFB is to solicit a wildfire health and safety research service provider with extensive industry experience and expertise to conduct research and identify, evaluate, and recommend solutions to enhance firefighting equipment and strategies to protect firefighters from the conditions present during wildfires in the wildland urban interface.

The Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center will also occupy an office suite on the 7th floor, and the College of Professional and Global Education will occupy classrooms on part of the 7th floor and the entire 8th floor including an Innovation Lab, a Virtual Reality Lab, multiple teaching spaces and an office suite.

The Proponent may also be required to conduct research related to wildfire debris samples. The successful Proponent will work as a team with provincial and area investigators on site of a wildfire incident, in an office setting, or remotely. The Proponent’s resources may be required to testify in court regarding the results of their analyses or related subject matter.

The Forestry Division, which is responsible for the investigation of wildfires within the Forest Protection Area (FPA) of Alberta, requires contracted Ignitable Liquid Residue (ILR) Detection Teams to assist with the investigation of the origin and cause of wildfires, and to assist in field research projects. There is no guarantee of work under the terms of the ILR Detection Team contract.

This requirement is in support of fire weather and post-wildfire hydrology research objectives. This facility is envisioned to be a truck-mounted dual-polarization weather radar. It is intended for stationary deployments of weeks to months, either on commercial power or off-grid.
