- Description
- NASA/LaRC has a requirement for renewal of Man-Computer Interactive Data Analysis System (McIDAS)Software License and support. NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the license and support from The University of Wisconsin as the only known source that can meet Agency requirements. This requirement is for the renewal of the McIDAS Annual Membership. McIDAS is a continually evolving software system that is uniquely tied to an extensive satellite and meteorological database. The database is integrated with an interactive graphics analysis system that permits the user to match various datasets in time and space and display and analyze them together. The annual site license provides access for all LaRC personnel to the McIDAS software system, data and services. The University of Wisconsin is the only organization that provides McIDAS software and the full complement of historical and current satellite data in McIDAS format. It would take substantial duplication of time and money for another company to offer a similar product that would meet this requirement, and these costs are not expected to be recovered through competition. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. 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 November 19, 2004. 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.
