- Description
- NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Mountain Region Acquisition Division, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1, 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) with B&W Color Prints, Upper Marlboro, Maryland, for display design and installation services. The sole source determination is based on NOAA's Earth Systems Research Laboratory (ESRL) ongoing requirement for the production and installation of Science on a Sphere ® Exhibits. Science On a Sphere® (SOS) is a room sized global display system that uses computers and video projectors to display planetary data onto a 68" diameter sphere, analogous to a giant animated globe. Researchers at NOAA/ESRL/GSD developed SOS as an educational tool to help illustrate Earth System science to people of all ages by displaying animated images of atmospheric storms, climate change, and ocean temperature on the sphere. B&W Color Prints, LLC of Upper Marlboro, Maryland has designed the mold for the sphere, produces and installs the room sized displays in museums and display areas worldwide. B&W Color Prints is the only known vendor that produces the sphere and can perform the production and installation services. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide the service that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
