70 -- PHOTOGRAMMETRIC PRODUCTION SYSTEMS DUE 091399 POC Kimberly A. Kleeb (703) 648-7370 The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting market research with regard to the acquisition of replacement systems for existing Intergraph manufactured Digital Cartographic Production Systems (DCPS) located at USGS facilities in Reston, Virginia; Denver, Colorado; and Rolla, Missouri. Based on information available at this time, the USGS considers the required systems to be sole-source and plans to enter into non-competitive discussions with Intergraph Corporation of Huntsville, Alabama. The replacement systems must provide a complete photogrammetric production system that offers a fully integrated, scalable, Y2K compliant solution with an open systems architecture. Due to unique imagery scanning requirements the Intergraph manufactured image scanning subsystem (Intergraph PS-1) will be retained for integration into the replacement system. The replacement systems shall electronically receive, ingest and process scanned hardcopy pre-Enhanced Imagery System (EIS) National Technical Means (NTM) Mapping, Charting and Geodessy (MC&G) data and commercial frame imagery in a proprietary Intergraph format from the retained image scanning subsystem. The replacement systems shall ingest imagery and support data structures associated with softcopy pre-EIS and EIS NTM MC&G data; perform multi-sensor triangulation; orthorectify/mosaic image data to produce Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles (DOQ) meeting the USGS Standards for Digital Orthophotos, Version Dated December 1996; digital orthophotos meeting user defined parameters; assess accuracy for compliance to National Map Accuracy Standards; automatically apply the appropriate names to DOQ products using the USGS Geographic Names Information System Geographic Cell Names Database; and interface with a local area network via Fast Ethernet (100mpbs). The Contractor must hold TS_TK security clearances and have access to classified documents that describe the formats for the NTM image and image support data. Any responses to this synopsis should contain sufficient technical documentation and descriptive literature to sufficiently describe system capabilities. All responses will be evaluated to determine whether that firm has full knowledge and capabilities to meet the USGS's requirement for successful implementation of the replacement systems. Neither a draft statement of work nor specifications are available. The Government will not pay for information provided in response to this synopsis. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement. All responses to this request must be received by close of business on September 13, 1999.
