- Classification Code: 99 ? Miscellaneous 1. Under the authority of 10 USC 2304 (c)(1) FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other source of supply or service will satisfy agency requirements, the Aeronautical Systems Center Reconnaissance System Wing (ASC/RSW) intends to award a sole source contract to Quantum Technology Services, Inc. (QTSI) of Cocoa Beach, FL. This solicitation is issued as a notice of contractual action for the procurement of additional work as described below for Phase 3 of the United States National Data Center (US NDC) program. The focus of Phase 3 is to operate and sustain the present operational systems, increase performance by fine-tuning current systems, and add increased functionality to the current baseline. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-06 effective 31 October 2005 and Class Deviation 2005-o0001 and DFARS Change Notice 20051114. 2. The US NDC is an advanced geophysical data processing system that provides the capability to receive, process, archive, and report events of interest in monitoring nuclear treaty requirements. It acquires waveform data from a global network of seismic, hydroacoustic, and infrasonic stations. Data is stored, distributed to researchers both internal and external, and reliably forwarded to a classified processing system. The US NDC receives data from multiple sources, including from the United States Atomic Energy Detection System (USAEDS) networks, from the International Data Center (IDC), and from other countries via bilateral agreements. Users interactively review, refine, and correct, the results of data processing. 3. The US NDC consists of two parallel operational systems: the US NDC at Patrick AFB and the Alternate US NDC at Goodfellow AFB. The Alternate US NDC system operates continuously, and it becomes the primary system if the US NDC becomes inoperative. A third system, the US NDC Testbed, is used to evaluate and test new functionality. There is also a stand-alone Training System used by Air Education and Training Command (AETC) for training system operators. The primary and testbed systems are classified systems located at Patrick AFB FL. The alternate and training systems are located at Goodfellow AFB TX. 4. Current system parameters include:4.1. Hardware: SUN ULTRA 10, 6800/4800 series servers, and Blade servers/workstations (The hardware is and will continue to be maintained through a separate contract.)4.2.

All upgrades to the US NDC shall be tested on the US NDC testbed. Upon government acceptance, all changes shall then be implemented on the primary, the alternate, and the training systems. 7. The majority of the work will be in support of the Patrick AFB FL system. Key personnel must provide on-site support at Patrick AFB. 8. The contractor will be required to provide 24 hours per day/7 days per week/365 days per year on-call trouble-shooting support. 9. Geophysical expertise is a requirement. 10.
