- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the services described herein are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 45 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) in Golden, Colorado, has a requirement to upgrade the existing USGS Earthworm Real-time and Database Architecture which supports NEIC activities. This requires development of a state-driven processing system which will enhance the USGS rapid earthquake notification system through the integration of the existing Earthworm real-time processing system with the Oracle Database Management System (DBMS). The Earthworm Development Group requires assistance from a responsible source with the following unique qualifications, which are considered essential to the requirement: 1) In-depth knowledge and experience with the ORACLE DBMS used in the USGS Earthworm rapid earthquake notification system; 2) In-depth knowledge and experience with interface of C programs to the Oracle DBMS using high performance OCI libraries; 3) In-depth knowledge and experience with procedures and views for Oracle in PL/SQL; and 4) In-depth knowledge and understanding of the Earthworm software architecture and communication protocol. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), implemented by FAR 5.302-1, the Government considers the specified services as a sole source from Katalyst Integration, 576 Giuffrida Avenue, San Jose, California, and proposes to negotiate a contract with that firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required services are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement, and such other materials which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requests for such documents without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement. See Note 22.
