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.
