The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice and identify their size status to the identified NAICS code. DESCRIPTION: The Naval Oceanographic Office is seeking sources to maintain, enhance and update its Commercial Joint Mapping Tool Kit (C/JMTK) COLLECTOR - Environment Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (C- EIPB) Geographic Information System (GIS) application and all supporting data layers as identified in the attached draft Performance Work Statement. C-EIPB is Geographic Information System (GIS) tool used for storage, retrieval, mapping, generating, and analysis of geographic data. C-EIPB contains highly-specialized tools, applications, and data layers supporting various critical mission requirements of NAVOCEANO and Navy commands. Individual tools within C-EIPB are distinct but share core functionality and data requiring seamless cross tool functionality. C-EIPB utilizes C/JMTK, a collection of software developer components and applications used by programmers to add geospatial functionality to military mission applications. C/JMTK is the standard mapping toolkit utilized by the Department of Defense Command and Control and Intelligence for mission application development programs. In general, tasking includes 1) enhancing C-EIPB to meet current and emergent NAVOCEANO and Navy operational requirements; 2) maintaining and improving current C-EIPB performance and functionality; 3) ingesting, retrieving, displaying, and compiling mission-critical geospatial environmental and battlespace data within C-EIPB; 4) updating C-EIPB metadata, models, data bases, and geospatial data layers; 5) providing on-demand installation and technical support, remote troubleshooting, and on-site and off-site technical training; and 6) generating training materials, presentations, and documentation. C-EIPB facilitates net-centric/server based technologies with focus on 1) post-deployment platform event reconstruction analysis tools for Center of Undersea Surveillance (CUS); 2) Anti-Submarine Warfare underwater acoustics, environmental analysis and synopsis, and acoustic system performance analysis tools for Naval Oceanography Operations Command (NOOC), Naval Oceanography ASW Center (NOAC), NAVOCEANO Reach Back Cells (RBCs), including forward-deployed NITES-Fielded systems; 3) data packaging in Mariner Object Format for propriety Voyage Management System navigation system; 4) data packaging for submarine-based ADOBE Oracle system; 5) mission planning for OPNAV Through the Sensor (TTS) collection systems; 6) display and utilization within C-EIPB tools for Oceanographic and Atmospheric Master Library (OAML) data bases including Ambient Noise (AN), Low Frequency Bottom Loss (LFBL), High Frequency Bottom Loss (HFBL), Bottom Backscattering Strength (BBS), and Volume Scattering Strength (VSS); 7) display and analysis tools for NAVOCEANO Glider Operations; 8) Surf Eagle web-based customer service applications and data; and 9) Office of Naval Intelligence acoustic analysis and system performance tools.
