- Description
- This modification is being issued to provide responses to offerors questions and supplemental information from the preproposal conference held May 31, 2007. This is a pre-solicitation announcement to notify interested vendors that the Department of Commerce (DOC) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a requirement for commercial satellite telecommunications services to support GEONETCast Americas. GEONETCast is a global initiative to develop a cost effective, worldwide Earth observation data collection and dissemination system using commercial satellite telecommunications infrastructure and technology. GEONETCast Americas will broadcast data from a wide range of American and international partners environmental data gathering assets using commercial telecommunication satellites to low-cost receive terminals. NOAA intends to make an initial operating capability deployment of GEONETCast Americas to provide this service to most of North, South, and Central America. The system will also share information with other components of the global GEONETCast system operated by NOAA international partners. The requirement is for a Firm Fixed Price Contract consisting of a base year of twelve (12) months with four (4) additional twelve (12) month option periods. The requirement is being conducted as a full and open acquisition. The Government is planning a pre-proposal conference during which potential contractors may obtain a better understanding of the work required.

The purpose of the conference is to: (1) provide information on the overall objectives; (2) describe the scope of program work as well as explain and clarify instructions for completing proposals along with describing how proposals will be evaluated in order to aid potential offerors in deciding if they wish to proceed in this acquisition further; and (4) provide an opportunity to ask specific questions and receive pertinent responses from the Government. In order to facilitate conference preparations, registration is required for attendance to the Pre-proposal Conference. Attendance at the conference is optional and will have no bearing, influence, or impact on the selection process. The following instructions will assist you with your registration. The below instructions are mandatory for the purpose of this conference.
