- Description
- Statement of Work Sole Source Document This is a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE ORDER and is not a request for competitive proposals. The Department of Commerce/NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service has a requirement for a Scientific Programmer/Satellite Data Analyst and intends to negotiate with and issue a sole source, firm-fixed price award to John E. O'Reilly, 71 Pleasant Street, North Kingston, RI 02852-5019 to work with existing, and develop new, Interactive Data Language (IDL) code for the acquisition, processing, and analysis of satellite remote sensing data. The award will be made using other than full and open competition procedures pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(A), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements and Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(2). NEFSC has an ongoing research program to use remotely-sensed data collected by satellites to monitor the spatial, seasonal, inter-annual and decadal variability in sea surface temperature and phytoplankton productivity of the Northeast United States continental shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (LME), and understand how oceanographic variability influences fisheries productivity and the living marine resources within this region. The requirement of this purchase order is for the contractor to have institutional knowledge of the existing IDL processing codes, which consists of more than 4,000 functions and programs. Mr. O'Reilly is uniquely qualified to perform the task of revising and updated the IDL programs because he has almost 20 years of experience programming in IDL and was responsible for designing and writing most of the code used by the Narragansett satellite data processing group. In order to complete the statement of work within the period of performance, the contractor must have institutional knowledge of the existing programming and processing infrastructure. A contractor without this institutional knowledge would require significant additional training time to learn how the satellite data are processed, the specialized methodology of working with satellite and oceanographic data and to become familiar with the existing processing codes. It is anticipated that Mr. O'Reilly's experience and working knowledge will be a significant savings to the Government because he will be able to complete the tasks in a much shorter time frame. The associated North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541712 and the business size standard is 500 employees. This will be awarded with a base year and one option year period. This Notice is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. For any questions concerning this Notice of Intent, please direct correspondence to Lauren Kirkpatrick via email at Lauren.Kirkpatrick@noaa.gov or by fax to 508-495-2004. All correspondence must reference NFFM7000-13-02836. Posting date of this notice is June13, 2013. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL BE HONORED.
