- Description
- NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for computing gaseous transmission and path radiance in the MODIS Middle Infrared and Long Wave Infrared Bands. These bands are needed for the implementation of atmospheric corrections in an operational context that can use high spatial resolution atmospheric profiles generated by a combination of MODIS and NCEP Data. The accuracy needed for those corrections require the development of a band absorption/emission model that accounts for the variation of absorption and thermal emission pressure, humidity and temperature along the path, which is critical in the long wavelengths. Those models and coefficients can be derived and validated using MODTRAN code that is currently used in computing gaseous transmission and path radiance at coarse resolution (1 degree). The delivery should include the correction code for MODIS Bands as well as some comparison with the MODTRAN results for some judiciously selected test cases. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Analytical & Computational Research Inc. ACRi has the specific expertise required to conduct this study. This study is aimed at quickly developing a software package to perform operation atmospheric correction in the middle thermal infrared using atmospheric profile at coarse resolution from the NCEP database. These are refined to a higher resolution using atmospheric parameter sensed by MODIS at the 1km resolution (e.g. water vapor). The proposed work to be accomplished relies heavily on having experimented with operational atmospheric correction methods in the middle and thermal infrared and having expertise of the MODIS data that are still relatively new. ACRi is in a unique position to meet our project needs in a timely manner with a staff experienced in this area position to meet our project needs in a timely manner with a staff experienced in this area of atmospheric correction in the infrared wavelengths for moderate resolution satellites. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on October 18, 2002. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications ARE NOT acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
