- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA/NESDIS/ AGO/NCAD, Building: SSMC2, 1325 East West Highway, RM 11406, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910, intends to award on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(C)(ii), based on only one responsible source, where no other supplies of services will satisfy agency requirements. The proposed source is MDA Geospatial Services, Inc., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The services being sought are delivery of Radarsat-2 satellite single/dual polarization level 1B data, 24/7/365, in electronic format in near-real time within two to six hours of satellite acquisition. Anymore than six hours is unacceptable. The vendor shall provide SAR data imagery to monitor conditions in the Polar Regions, Great Lakes and selected waterways, and the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays and selected rivers and lakes are essential because SAR imagery is a high-resolution data source capable of penetrating the perpetual cloud cover and illumination conditions unique to the regions specified above during the winter months, which enables the NIC to analyze ice and snow. Current technology allows NIC to create ice classification, concentration, and motion products from SAR data, which greatly aid in the production of a wide variety of ice information and decision making products. The Government anticipates a firm-fixed price contract with a base period of one year (12-Months) and two (2) 12-Month option periods. This notice is published for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive quotations. However, offerors who believe they can meet this requirement are to submit in writing an affirmative response. All responses must include a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information demonstrating the company's ability to meet the above requirements. The response must be sufficient to permit agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet the requirements. Failure to submit such documentation shall result in the Government proceeding as stated above. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Affirmative written responses must be received no later than 15 calendar days after publication of this synopsis. Proposal submissions must be submitted to the following person listed as the Government point of contact in this announcement. All questions must be submitted in writing to the attention of the Government Contract Specialist. NOTHING HEREIN SHOULD BE MISCONSTRUED AS A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS, QUOTES OR BIDS. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTATION IS AVAILABLE OR WILL BE ISSUED. The National Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 517410, and the size standard is $15M. The incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-66 date April 1, 2013.
