Eligible firms will be invited to bid on the provision of professional contract support for the design and development of remote sensing applications. NURC will use contractor support performed by remote sensing scientists, software engineers, and those with other appropriate technical skills to design, develop, and validate remote sensing algorithms and applications, image processing, and other tools to support research projects in remote sensing. Both passive and active sensors will be included. Projects to be supported include research on the measurement of various oceanographic parameters such as ocean color, bathymetry, wind and waves, and the use of remote sensing systems for ship detection and tracking. NURC is serving as the contracting agency for this project, which was authorized by the MBC. NURC intends to award the contract to the lowest compliant bidder. The bid process will include a sealed bid with no negotiations. Partial bidding may be allowed. The estimated cumulative value of this project is Euro 1,125,000.
