Description
This notice is not a request for quotation (RFQ). This presolicitation notice is for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, request for quotation, or commitment by the Government to award a purchase order. The Department of the Interior (DOI), United States Geological Survey (USGS) Acquisition Team, seeks a qualified firm to perform an independent code review of the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) Production System.
ShakeAlert is a mission-critical system that operates continuously to detect earthquakes and provide life-safety warnings to more than 50 million people along the U.S. West Coast. The production environment comprises numerous real-time, safety-critical software components that have evolved over many years and are maintained by a small team under significant operational constraints.
The objective of this work is to improve the reliability, maintainability, and long-term sustainability of the ShakeAlert production code base through two complementary activities: - A rigorous, module-by-module review of source code quality, correctness, and maintainability. - An assessment of current software development and deployment practices, with concrete recommendations for modernizing the GitLab CI/CD pipeline and workflow.
Work will be performed in phases over a period not to exceed 12 months. All work shall be conducted with regular coordination with USGS ShakeAlert staff. All work can be performed remotely.
