- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541519. The reference number for this Request for Quote (RFQ) is 88G69007AS04. Note that the Period of Performance (PoP) is expected to be approximately 01 Apr 2009 - 31 Mar 2010. NGA plans to issue a firm fixed price purchase order under FAR Part 12 and 13. The requirement is for the following items: 1) Quantity of 64, GeoExpress Maintenance Agreements (Part # 101-036-7R) 2) Quantity of 3, GeoExpress Solaris Maintenance Agreements (Part # 104-028-R) 3) Quantity of 2, NITF Module Maintenance Agreements (Part # 101-03-7) 4) Quantity of 2, GeoExpress Express Server Maintenance Agreements (Part # 301-022-7) BRAND NAME GEOEXPRESS ANNUAL SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE The National Geospatial Intelligence-Agency has a requirement for annual software maintenance agreements as outlined above. All of the items referenced in this posting are proprietary products of LizardTech. LizardTech is the sole manufacturer of the GeoExpress suite of products and annual maintenance. GeoExpress software provides a unique capability for compressing information using wavelet compression without a loss of data. This allows products to be made smaller in size and then transmitted through communication paths with limited bandwidth. Other forms of compression software would result in a loss of information when uncompressed and would not be compatible with unique NGA systems. Furthermore, due to the fact that this software is already integrated into the NGA enterprise it would be extremely costly to switch to a new type of software. Personnel would have to be trained to use the new software and NGA would suffer unacceptable production delays due to implementation of the new software. The GeoExpress suite of software is the only product that fulfills the form, fit, and function requirements of NGA at this time. Vendor must be an authorized reseller of LizardTech GeoExpress products. Vendor shall quote all or none of the listed items. Delivery is FOB Destination. Delivery will be made to: NGA Washington Navy Yard, 1200 First Street SE, Washington, DC 20303.
