- Description
- Opportunity: Notice of Intent to Award a Noncompetitive Procure Description The U.S. Geological Survey intends to award a noncompetitive purchase order to Residuum Energy for specialized computer analysis of high spectral resolution image data. Efficient use of PVA by USGS is limited by a lack of experience, a lack of knowledge of how the source procedures inter-relate, a lack of source code assess in order to modify procedures, and a lack of understanding of how to enhance PVA performance via pre-and post-multivariate and other techniques. Personnel of Residuum Energy created the PVA source code and logic and have over 30 year of experience in the proficient use and enhancement of PVA performance in indentifying targets in complex datasets(e.g., Hyperion hyperspectral data). They designed PVA and are the worlds experts in PVA applications. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively IAW FAR 12 and 13.106-1(b) (1). ). No other entity is known that can provide statistical analysis of PVA spectal indicators from the Hyperion image data without relying of a priori spectral obtained from spectral libraries or homogeneous areas on the Hyperion image. Widely marketed alternative softwares with proven capabilities rely on spectral libraries or adequately sized homohomogeneous tallow stands to create spectral indicators (e.g. ENVI). PVA provides the only available and proven software that can derive spectral indicators with reliance on libraries or homogeneous stands. PVA provide the only compatible output to our standard image processing software(PCI Geomatica). Alternative software requires the use of their proprietary image processing software for their spectral indicatror software to function properly(e.g. ENVI). Dr. Robert Ehrlich is a sedimentologist who has a long and distinguished career based on the identification of unique harmonic and spectral features within complex datasets. His work has involved the successful application of PVA to the identification of unique spectral features or indicators in high spectral resolution datasets. No other entity is known that can provide this type of analysis. This notice is for information purposes only and is not a Request for Competitive Quotes. This represents the Governments only written notice of this procurement. Interested concern may submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist. This notice and any resulting order conforms to the requirement in place through FAC 05-51(effective 1 April, 2011). All questions regarding this procurement shall be in writing, addressed to Sheryl Carriere, at carrieres@usgs.gov no later than the closing date on this announcement.
