VideoScout video management systems provide the capability to capture, archive, analyze and retrieve video and metadata from receivers, sensors and network feeds. VideoScout is used in the Ground-Based Operational Surveillance System (G-BOSS) to help United States Marine Corps (USMC) personnel capture, create and share intelligent video to improve mission planning, mission execution and situational awareness. Based on current market research, the resultant procurement is anticipated to be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data and duplicative cost that the Government does not expect to be recovered through competition and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source. This RFI is published to obtain information for use by NSWC Crane Division, for market research and planning purposes only; and is not a Request for Proposal, Invitation for Bid, or an announcement of a solicitation.
