- Description
- U.S. Dept. of Commerce/NESDIS Acquisition Division, Simplified Acquisition Team intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with COMTECH EF Data, using the procedures in FAR 6 and 13. The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) (NOAA) and the. National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service's (NESDIS) Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution (OSDPD) maintains and operates the Central Environmental Satellite Computer System (CEMSCS) and the Satellite Environmental Processing System (SATEPS) data centers at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD. These separate processing operations are being consolidated into a single, Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC). Many of the data, products, and services provided directly contribute to the issuance of life saving NWS watches and warnings to the public. As such they fall under Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) -63, Critical Infrastructure Protection, i.e., a backup capability needs to be established for critical products and functions should a disaster render the primary OSDPD ESPC inaccessible or inoperable. These systems are currently single points of failure for the nation's environmental satellite data images and critical products used by the NWS and Department of Defense (DOD) as inputs to analyses and forecast models. The OSDPD CIP project will provide backup systems located at the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS) and be able to perform all mission critical operations and critical product data processing functions in the event of a catastrophic outage at the NSOF site. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 334220 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered by NOAA. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing, and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the foregoing requirements. Responses must also be accompanied by descriptive literature, warranties, and/or other information that demonstrates that the quote meets all of the foregoing requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to Jean.Barrett@noaa.gov or faxed to (301) 713-0810 by March 10, 2009. Award will be made using FAR 13, Simplified acquisition procedures, current through FAC 2005-28. The determination to compete or not compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Reference # DG133E-09-RQ0994(GJB)
