This below is posted on FedBizOpps, like most of them in the "sources sought," "pre-solicitation," or "solicitation" stage. There was at least one federal recovery project awarded just yesterday. Just below it, there is a federal solicitation to repair the roof of a toilet building, somewhere in a meadow in the Lake Tahoe area.
In Ivy League America, projects like that take time. . . .just to bid.
So this below is for "market research!" No real project is apparently yet contemplated.
"HIn compliance with the transparency and accountability requirements associated with the supplemental appropriations provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(the "Act"), Public Law 111.5, this notice is for market research.

These systems will include but not be limited to Earthworm, Hydra architecture and database schema, and Oracle based Wave Server.
