- 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 14 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS), Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC), Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has a requirement for an outreach system to display ASTER and MODIS data, both internally and at outreach events. The minimum requirements for this system are: 1) Consist of both a 16" and a 24" projection sphere with projection capabilities; 2) Have touch screen display for operation; 3) Include on-site training and product setup; 4) Include custom shipping containers; 5) "Storyteller" software package which enables the LP DAAC to display its own Remote Sensing data sets on the system; 6) Remote control capability; and 7) One-year hardware and software support and maintenance. The only system found to meet these USGS requirements is the Magic Planet System, which is manufactured by Global Imagination. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), implemented by FAR 5.302-1, the Government considers the specified supplies as a sole source from Global Imagination, 750 University Avenue, Los Gatos, 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 services 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 ANNOUCEMENT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY; NO FORMAL RFQ WILL BE AVAILABLE. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement.
