- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML), intends to negotiation, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Atmospheric Environmental Research (AES) INC, to incorporate new NASA satellite measurements of carbon dioxide into the CarbonTracker- Lagrange modeling system to be completed at the vendor�s facility located in Lexington, MA. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) requirement that AES and NOAA GML jointly developed the CarbonTracker-Lagrange modeling framework under previous contracts and grants with NOAA and NASA. AER therefore has unique and detailed knowledge of the existing computer codes and model data products, and theyare the only vendor with access to the NASA computer systems where the software has been implemented under an Interagency Agreement. No other provider exists that can carry out this work due to the complexity of the modeling framework and the requirement for access on the NASA computers. This work will support a joint NOAA-NASA effort and will enable significant progress toward transitioning software from research and development status to operational status. Period of performance will be from date of award through 06/30/2022. ***THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
