- Description
- Synopsis: The US Forest Service intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Applanix for an aerial navigation system. The U.S. Forest Service currently has two Applanix aerial navigation systems. This system will serve as a back-up system to the existing systems. Forest Service personnel are already properly trained and experienced with the Applanix system. The Forest Service has developed software to read the outputs of the Applanix system in the correct U.S. Forest Service required format. A new system would require the development of new software to convert system outputs and would also require Forest Service navigation system users to be trained on the new system. For continuity purposes with current U.S. Forest Service supplies, training, experience and software compatibility the government intends to award a contract to Applanix for an aerial navigation system. System Requirements: An integrated navigation solution consisting of a multiple frequency multi-channel GPS unit, multi-axis inertial measurement unit that is integrated into a complete navigation solution. It must be capable of outputting a serial data stream at 50 to 60 Hz intervals that can be used to ortho-rectify and geo-correct infrared line scanned wildland fire imagery. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitations documents are available and telephone requests will not be honored. However, if a firm believes it can meet the requirements it must furnish information about its products and services, as well as references from other customers who are using these products and service, to the Contracting Officer within (7) calendar days from the date of publication of this synopsis. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirements. Information must be sent to the Contracting Officer, Forest Service Contracting, 3833 S. Development Ave, Boise ID, 83705 or via fax to (208) 387-5384. Responses received will be evaluated however; a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the Forest Service will proceed with the sole source negotiation with Applanix.
