Description
NASA/GSFC has a requirement for (1) daily evapotranspiration (ET) maps at 3-kmresolution over the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) domain for 2007-Near Present trhoughlife of project, (2) weekly Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) maps over the MENA domain for1 to 6-month moving composite windows at 3-km resolution starting 2007 through life ofproject and (3) evaluation of historic ESI maps in comparison with standardprecipitation-based drought metrics available for the region. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Jupiter's Call, LLC because this company hasbeen instrumental in developing the ALEXI/DISALEXI modeling system, a unique solution forproviding these data. ALEXI/DISALEXI is currently the only operative ET remote sensingtool designed to generate self-consistent ET/ESI maps at multiple scales-from continentaldown to field scale. These products have been well validated at all scales, and performwithin the expected standards. NASA's technical point of contact and colleagues atJupiter's Call already have the modeling infrastructure in place for generating therequired datasets over the MENA region and are positioned to complete the task within theproject timeframe. For these reasons, a sole source contract with Jupiter's Call LLC isin the best interest of the GovernmentThe Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local timeon May 30, 2012 Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for thepurpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.
