Description

The Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Radar Operation Center (ROC) proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis a contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) with Telelogic North America, Inc., 11911 Freedom Drive, Suite 1180, Reston, VA 20190 for annual maintenance renewal of Telelogic DOORS? (Dynamic Object Orientated Requirements Software), the software tool used by the open systems and engineering team. The maintenance is required to provide the latest version in the development of the open systems for the WSR-88D radar. Telelogic DOORS? software is used by the ROC to provide requirements management/traceability and maintain key interface control documents. Telelogic DOORS? software also serves as the key document change management control facility for the Radar Products Generator (RPG), Open Principle User Processor, (OPUP) and the Radar Data Acquisition (ORDA) documentation. The ROC depends on Telelogic DOORS? for testing support as well, because it provides a means to tie test steps to specific requirements which is vital to successful verification of system performance. Without Telelogic DOORS?, the ROC would be unable to effectively manage and control critical baseline documentation used to support the NEXRAD computer systems. In addition, the ROC would lose the significant Telelogic DOORS? investment the ROC, National Severe Storms Lab (NSSL) and the RS Information Systems (RSIS) ORDA team have already made in this application. Telelogic North America, formerly QSS Inc., is the manufacturer of the software and the only vendor who provides the maintenance. This procurement is being conducted per FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (under $100,000). This synopsis is issued for information purposes only. Questions should be submitted in writing to the contracting officer either by fax or email. Any source that believes it can supply the required service should respond by submitting a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information and other technical literature demonstrating the ability to meet the above requirements, within 15 days of this notice, to the above address. Information submitted in response to the notice will be used solely to determine whether or not use of competitive procedures to fulfill this requirement would be in the Government?s best interest and must address qualifications pertinent to this requirement. Anticipated award date will be October 31, 2005.
