- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6, and Subpart 13, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement, DG133C-05-RQ-1820, constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a separate solicitation will not be issued. From September 1997 until December 2004, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) maintained a contract with OrbImage Corporation for full resolution data for the world from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor SeaWiFS data on the Orbview-2 satellite. The SeaWiFS sensor is used to characterize factors that alter the color of the ocean, including algal blooms, chlorophyll, suspended sediment, and other pigments. For US coastal waters, NOAA has found that SeaWiFS is a key sensor for operational and research activities. As subsequent ocean color sensors have different bands and characteristics, comparison of data sets for operational or climatologic requirements is problematic. In order to meet needs for Ocean Observing Systems for operational and climatologic studies, and for development of applications of government ocean color sensors, NOAA/NESDIS/Office of Research and Applications continues to have a requirement for SeaWiFS high resolution data. Accordingly, NOAA requires the acquisition of a license for the rights to the specified data. The Government contemplates awarding a firm-fixed-price contract. Award will be made based on low price. The purchase order will include provisions and clauses in effect at time of award. The provisions and clauses may be downloaded at http://www.arnet.gov/far. The following provisions and clauses shall apply: FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial; FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation ? Commercial Items.
