- Description
- This request is for information and planning purposes only; it is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. The Government will not pay for any information that is submitted by respondents to this announcement. This is not a request for proposals, quotations, or bids. Any information submitted is voluntary. The information provided in response to this request for information is not expected to be a proposal, but rather a capabilities statement regarding the company's experience or ideas for the requirements described herein. All information received may be used to refine the Government's requirements. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) will use this information to determine the feasibility of pursuing this capability as a future contract requirement. Responses to this RFI will not be evaluated according to any formal competitive evaluation process. Responses to this RFI will not be used to develop a bidder's list. The responses, however, may influence the method, style, requirements, evaluation methodology, or content of any subsequent Request For Proposal (RFP) or competition for the same or similar effort. Responses must be received not later than 14 December 2012 in accordance with the instruction and restrictions stated herein. Overview NGA receives near real-time GPS navigation messages and observational data from seventeen (17) DOD GPS monitor station sites, 11 managed by NGA and 6 managed by United States Air Force (USAF). In addition to support for GPS Control Segment operations, data from these sites are used to compute the post-fit NGA GPS Precise Ephemeris. NGA intends to augment its real time GPS data feeds to support emerging program requirements for Near Real-Time Precision GPS (NPG) products and services. Consideration is being given to acquisition of GPS data from non-DOD entities. The data would also be used in generation of the daily NGA GPS Precise Ephemeris. The data would not be provided to USAF for GPS Control Segment operations. Information Requested The following information should be included in the response to this RFI: 1. Company Name and address, point of contact name, phone number and e-mail address 2. Small business size status under NAICS code 541512 3.
