70 -- DIGITAL CARTOGRAPHIC PRODUCTION/SEGMENT (DCP/S) ENHANCEMENTS DUE 042095 POC Karen Phillips (703)648-7372 (contact), Kimberly A. Kleeb (703)648-7370 (CO) Market Search. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) anticipates entering into non-competitive negotiations with Intergraph Corporation of Huntsville, Alabama to obtain enhancements to the existing Digital Cartographic Production/Segment (DCP/S). The DCP/S is an automated digital orthophoto production system. The DCP/S inputs hardcopy and digital imagery; scans the data to digital format; performs image pre-processing, mensuration and triangulation, orthorectification and mosaiking; and then produces USGS DCP/S formatted digital orthophotos on optical disk, 8mm Exabyte tape or computer compatible tape. The DCP/S utilizes unique classified software which interfaces to Intergraph's Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) hardware and proprietary software. The primary functions of the DCP/S are to generate and copy digital orthophotos from special source national assets. The USGS's requirements relating to the DCP/S are as follows: new capabilities such as soft copy interface for DCP/S and interfaces to Intergraph's proprietary COTS software; operational support for existing custom developed software; maintenance for Intergraph COTS software; maintenance for Intergraph COTS hardware; resolution of discrepancy reports (DR) against existing custom software; assistance in performing Configuration Management (CM) function; training; systems analysis and design; and user documentation. All software enhancements and related services will be tightly coupled to Intergraph's proprietary software. ADP support services are required over the anticipated 5-year contract life. Firms who believe they can provide the required ADP support services are invited to submit an affirmative response within 45 days of the publication date of this notice in accordance with note number 22. All such responses will be evaluated in order to determine whether that firm has full knowledge of the USGS's requirement for DCP/S support with the above mentioned capabilities. An affirmative response shall include literature, brochures, and other such information corresponding to the required items which demonstrates the capabilities of the offeror. Because Intergraph COTS ADP source code will be required to integrate DCP/S custom code and enhancements, offeror shall fully describe how they would obtain the required Intergraph source code. This notice is for informational purposes only. Request for Proposal (RFP) is not available. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement. See Note 22. (0030)
