- Description
- Sole Source Justification The Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (DOC/NOAA/NESDIS), intends to award a sole source intends to award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) The Government intends to enter into a sole source requirement with the SpaceNav for essential and complete space situational awareness, the MOD Engineering Branch refers to several sources including the Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) of the U.S. Air Force and web-based Space Data Association services. The web-based SpaceNav conjunction assessment suite of this procurement enhances Engineering ability to conduct conjunction analysis in several ways: (1) Suitability for analysis of Low-Earth Orbiting (LEO) spacecraft events - in contrast, SDA services are more favorable for geostationary satellites; (2) Numerous graphical tools for analysis visualization; (3) Realistic covariance determination allows for greater resolution of risk assessment by providing probabilities of events based on positional uncertainties; (4) Recommendations for design of collision-avoidance maneuvers. Given the growing numbers of geostationary, low-earth orbiting satellites and space debris, the enhanced capabilities realized by subscription to SpaceNav services is considered an effective return on investment in protection of this critical meteorological infrastructure. The DOC/NOAA/NESDIS is not aware of other source that can provide the above. Therefore, it intends to make an award for a one-year subscription to the web-based suite of conjunction analysis tools provided by SpaceNav. One year subscription to SpaceNav web-based Solution, including •Automated Maneuver Planning •Course of Action Matrix •Data Processing Status Bar •On-demand plotting •Automated Notification Service, including text reporting. Reports will be delivered either through email with attachments, or through download to the client workstation. •Two service training sessions provided by SpaceNav staff; one provided at contract award, and a second near midyear of the performance period The subscription will apply to the NOAA satellites listed below, •S-NPP •NOAA 15 •NOAA 18 •NOAA19 •GOES 13 •GOES 14 •GOES 15 Period of Performance: April 27, 2016 - April 26, 2017 THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation for offers. However, parties interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including cost, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same product to Joel L. Perlroth, Contracting Officer at Joel.L.Perlroth@noaa.gov by April 20, 2016 no later than 1 pm EST. All capability statements received by the closing date of this notification of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 12 commercial procedures. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541712 - Size Standard $1,000 employees.
