Description
The Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR) seeks to procure a sole‑source license for Aquatic Informatics’ Aquarius SaaS platform, which supports scientific calculations, streamflow data corrections, and water‑rights administration. The software aligns with USGS, ISO, WMO, and OGC standards and has been used by DWR since 2008 via the GRSAT rating development module. DWR already has a long‑standing partnership with Aquatic Informatics, reducing training needs and ensuring data‑sharing compatibility with the USGS. The Department of Natural Resources will issue a purchase order, and the contract will run until June 30 2031 with an estimated budget of $470,318.38. Vendors may submit a brief capability statement via email; this notice is not a solicitation for proposals or quotations, but a notification of intent to award a sole‑source contract, open to challenge if another qualified vendor exists.
