DOI - Fish & Wildlife Service ECOSphere - MRAS

The Department of the Interior (DOI), through the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research to support the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in its ongoing efforts to enhance ecological data integration. This initiative aligns with the overarching goals of USFWS's Ecological Services Division, which focuses on improving data management and accessibility for ecological services. By leveraging modern technology and innovative approaches, USFWS aims to streamline its processes and enhance decision-making capabilities related to wildlife conservation and habitat management.

The work being requested involves the development and implementation of ECOSphere 4.0, a sophisticated platform aimed at facilitating data integration within USFWS's Ecological Services Division. This project is crucial for advancing the agency's mission of conserving natural resources by providing a robust framework for data collection, analysis, and dissemination. The ECOSphere 4.0 initiative seeks to improve interoperability among various datasets, ensuring that accurate and timely information is available for stakeholders involved in ecological conservation efforts.

Specifically, this work will require expertise in software development, data management systems, and ecological informatics. The selected contractor will be responsible for designing a scalable architecture that supports diverse data types while maintaining high standards of security and reliability. Additionally, the project will involve collaboration with USFWS personnel to ensure that the system meets operational requirements and enhances user experience across different levels of the organization.
