- Description
- Sources Sought. The Information Exploitation Systems (SRG) Program Office seeks to upgrade the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS) with a common Geospatial Information System (GIS) software application capable of performing multiple functions utilizing multiple sources of data for a wide range of users. This is a Request for Information (RFI) only for a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software tool to provide the core capabilities of the GIS application. The AF DCGS is a system of systems that supports intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. It tasks ISR assets, ingests data from multiple satellite-, airborne-, and ground-based sensors, processes and exploits the data, and disseminates intelligence products. Currently, the AF DCGS is comprised of multiple legacy systems at multiple locations worldwide that utilize various commercial and Government GIS applications and map products. The Government is seeking to standardize on a single application at all sites. The ideal core GIS application tool will, at a minimum: ? Display data stored in various formats including, but not limited to, Compressed ARC Digital Raster Graphic (CADRG), ARC Digital Raster Imagery (ADRI), Controlled Image Base (CIB), Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF), geospatial reports, tailored geospatial products supplied by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and other agencies, vector/raster data, specialized image/map graphics, and precision points; ? Convert latitude (LAT), longitude (LONG), geopositional reference (GEOREF), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), or Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) grid coordinates to data link reference point (DLRP) or to XY coordinates without impacting the originating source and vice versa; ? Display data in layers that can be selectively added to or removed from a monitor dynamically upon operator command; ? Provide a documented interface that facilitates the rapid infusion of additional data sources including image libraries, feature databases and reports databases; ? Support generation of softcopy and hardcopy multi-INT products including, but not limited to, hardcopy tailored images, textual reports, magnetic media, multi-media and graphics; ? Support the dynamic posting of geospatial data to web servers; ? Operate in both a UNIX and Windows environments; ? Be scalable to support a diverse user base. Interested potential offerors are requested to submit a statement of their qualifications and supporting documentation, including cost of software application, customer base, and experience providing such products. This synopsis is for planning purposes only, and does not constitute and IFB or an RFP, nor does its issuance restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. The information you provide will be evaluated to identify qualified potential offerors. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice, or to otherwise pay for any information solicited. All statement of qualifications must be received on or before February 6th 2002. You may submit responses either by mail (ESC/SRG, Bldg 1102C, 29 Randolph Rd, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731) or e-mail to lee.poage@hanscom.af.mil, dan.gorman@hanscom.af.mil, and charise.presnell@hanscom.af.mil. Please include the name of your firm, address, point of contact, phone/fax, and an electronic mail address, if available.
