- Description
- NASA/SSC plans to issue a sole source, firm fixed price purchase order to the University of Arizona for support in the radiometric characterization of commercial remote sensing imagery (QuickBird and OrbView-3 systems). The effort will include all labor and travel necessary for the University of Arizona to perform the following tasks: 1. Assist in defining the appropriate University of Arizona functional data collects required to perform QuickBird and OrbView-3 radiometric assessments. This includes identifying tasking requirements (locations, collection dates) for these characterizations. Up to three QuickBird and up to three OrbView-3 images will be acquired to support this activity. 2. Support ground truthing for functional data acquisition collects to characterize QuickBird and OrbView-3 imagery. Field appropriate equipment and instruments, and collect appropriate field data for measuring the radiometric accuracy of the imagery. Provide data collected in association with radiometric characterization to Stennis Space Center. 3. Analyze the radiometric characteristics of QuickBird and OrbView-3 imagery from the functional acquisitions. Determine the radiometric accuracy associated with the acquired calibrated QuickBird and OrbView-3 imagery. Results of radiometric analysis may not be shared with anyone without prior permission/consultation with NASA Stennis Space Center as part of the JACIE collaboration effort. 4. Collaborate with NASA Stennis Space Center in the development and verification of atmospheric correction methods for commercial imagery. i.e. Assist in developing atmospherically-corrected commercial products using MODIS or other data for atmospheric correction. This may include sharing of ground-based reflectance and atmospheric data collected for past commercial data radiometric calibration field exercises. 5. Document the activities, progress, and results of this effort. Provide written reports that will include a summary of radiometric characterization data collection methods, procedures, and results, and atmospheric correction activities and results. 6. Present results of this work at the JACIE annual High Spatial Resolution Commercial Imagery Workshop. The associated viewgraphs and/or posters will be compiled in the proceedings. 7. Coordinate technical issues associated with functional acquisitions and data analysis with NASA Stennis technical support contractor personnel. The University of Arizona is the only known vendor that can provide these services. There will be only one award made for this requirement. This is a sole source commercial item acquisition under FAR Parts 6.301-1 and 12. The Government believes only one responsible source can provide the services that will satisfy the Agency's requirements. This notice of intent is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for competitive quotes. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:00 p.m. (central time) on 25 June 2004. Submissions will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. 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. This acquisition is unrestricted. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541360 and $4 Mil respectively. The DPAS Rating for this procurement is DO-C9. FOB is destination. The anticipated release date of this RFQ is on or about June 29, 2004 with responses due NLT 3:00 p.m. July 7, 2004. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". Any referenced notes can be viewed at the following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nasanote.html. All potential offerors shall notify this office in writing, by facsimile, email, or any other delivery system, of their intent to submit an offer.
