- Description
- SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) manages the Nation's operational geostationary and polar-orbiting environmental satellites, and manages a large collection of atmospheric, geophysical, and oceanographic data. Within NESDIS, the Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) manages and directs the operation of the central ground facilities which ingest, process, and, distribute environmental satellite data and derived products to domestic and foreign users. The Direct Services Branch of the OSPO manages and operates the Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking (SARSAT) program. The NESDIS SARSAT program and system are part of the international Cospas-Sarsat (C/S) System. The purpose of the C/S System is to provide distress alert and location data for search and rescue (SAR), using spacecraft and ground facilities to detect and locate the signals of Cospas-Sarsat distress radio beacons operating on 406 MHz. An earth receiving station that tracks low earth orbiting (LEO) satellites in the C/S System (the C/S LEOSAR system) is called a LEOSAR Local User Terminal (LEOLUT). An earth receiving station in the C/S System which receives and processes signals relayed by a medium earth orbiting satellites is called a MEOSAR Local User Terminal (MEOLUT). Both the LEOLUT and MEOLUT transmit alert and location data to the associated C/S Mission Control Center (MCC) for subsequent distribution to SAR authorities. This contract is to procure 4th generation LEOLUTs which will replace the current LEOLUTs after commissioning into the C/S System and purchase LEOLUTs with MEOLUT Capabilities with the ability to process current SARSAT distress signals and 2 nd Generation distress signals what that functionality is implemented. The contract includes installation, training, manuals, the associated operations and maintenance, engineering support, program management, human engineering, and logistic support planning requirements. This requirement will be procured in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation using full and open competition. The period of performance will be for 1 base year and 4 option years. The RFQ is intended to result in the award of a single firm-fixed price (FFP) construction contract. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and a solicitation package will be issued. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contractual action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any request for further information should be sent to patricia.schramm@noaa.gov. Interested offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM).
