- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the services and supplies described herein are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 15 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC), has a requirement to continue deployment of the USGS ShakeCast System. This shall include database configuration, response to user inquiries, implementing bug fixes and enhancements for improved delivery speed, and presentations to user groups and conferences promoting ShakeCast use. Contractor must be intimately familiar with the software and hardware of the ShakeCast System, as well as the IT issues associated with its installation. Contractor must also have demonstrated experience designing and implementing open-source software solutions for critical transport of information via standard Internet protocols, including PERL, XML-based metadata, authentication and security, and a variety of database systems which are the underlying software required for the ShakeCast System. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1, the Government considers the services specified as a sole source from Gatekeeper Systems, 1010 East Union Street, Pasadena, 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 supplies 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.
