- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Bureau of Land Management Nevada State Office intends to award a sole source purchase order to Howard S. Goldbaum to provide equipment and convert BLMs existing two-dimensional high definition 360-degree photographic node data already complied for the American Flat Mill (AFM) online virtual tour into an appropriate format to facilitate pseudo three-dimensional viewing using a head mounted display (HMD). Based on market research conducted the BLM has determined that the equipment required to display the pseudo three dimensional view of the American Flat Mill in a head mounted display is available in the commercial marketplace, however this requirement expands on this need to include the expertise required to take the existing nodes (created by the contractor) and convert them to the required format to make the Oculus Rift or similar head mounted display (HMD). The contractor has been conducting experiments using the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality (VR) headset or HMD for the AFM virtual tour. The HMD virtual tour would put the viewer right into the virtual space instead of just viewing it sitting in front of a computer monitor. The HMD technology would also be available for viewing on compatible mobile devices connected to the internet. This notice of intent is not a request for quote. If you believe your company can meet the requirement listed above, please contact Kim Ferguson via email at k1fergus@blm.gov prior to 4pm PST on September 17, 2015. Telephone responses and requests will not be accepted. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
