Description

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), the Department of Defense (DoD) Medical School and Health Sciences University, hereby announces its intent to acquire on a sole source basis with University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) in Baltimore, MD for Satellite Data Research and Consulting Services. UMBC's NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has special calibrated Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data that is required for the USUHS to successfully complete their research. Pioneering work has been done on the use of satellite data to predict mosquito-borne disease in Africa. Ten and Fifteen-day composite Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) products are produced in near real-time, based on the AVHRR orbiting satellites. The data sets are binned to 8km spatial resolution using a maximum value NDVI compositing procedure and calibrated to correct for sensor degradation and slight differences between orbiting satellites. The data sets span nearly two decades. This award is IAW FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1) and authorizes USUHS to award contracts when only one source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. All inquires may be addressed to Nadine Utz, 4301 Jones Bridge Road, Room A1040C, Bethesda, MD 20814-4799 by 21 July 2008 at 3:00 p.m. EST.
