Non-personal Services C++ Programming 143041-26-0066
Summary
AI-generated · May 20, 2026Modify and continue development of a NOAA-designed custom C++ program that predicts the effects of dam and reservoir operations on juvenile salmon and steelhead survival and passage through the Columbia River hydropower system. Deliver a completed graphical user interface, finish the adult passage module, expand the model to include travel time and survival in tributaries, and optimize the code for speed and efficiency. The effort is for non-personal services under a firm-fixed-price purchase order, awarded on a sole-source basis to Valinor Labs, and the action is unrestricted.
An experienced C++ programmer with knowledge of fish ecology is required. This presolicitation is not a competitive solicitation and no solicitation package is available; however, firms that believe they can meet the requirements may submit substantiating documentation or requests for additional information in writing to determine whether the procurement should be conducted competitively. No oral inquiries are accepted. The anticipated award date is around June 2026.
