Redding/Contracting Officer 70 -- GENERAL PURPOSE ADP The U.S. Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Services (NESDIS) intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with Silicon Graphics, Inc. of Mountain View, CA for the acquisition of workstations manufactured by Silicon Graphics. The SGI Unix-based workstations are being procured for the Satellite Services Division (SSD) requiring high performance input/output to meet operational deadlines for our new distributed network during the fourth quarter of 1997. The system will provide a needed increase in processing throughput and interactive analysis capabilities to personnel. The SGI system has one copy of the operating system and compiler with nodes and CPU's being a part of the one system, which will allow for a true symmetrical Multi Processor. This equipment will allow for near realtime production of satellite products.
