- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Simplified Acquisition and Grants Office on behalf of the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS )using procedures in FAR Parts 6 and 13 intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis for twelve month purchase order with Global Imaging. The purpose of this requirement is to renew the hardware and software maintenance support for the Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO). The Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution (OSDPD) originally purchased the Advanced Front End Processors (AFEP) system from Global Imaging which is the manufacture of the AFEP software and specialized hardware which is currently in operation at the NOAA Satellite Operating Facility and the Critical Infrastructure Protection Facility. Additionally, Global Imaging is the manufacture of the receiver, bit/frame synchronizer which forms part of the Monterey High Rate Picture Transmission Downlink. Global Imaging is the only company capable of maintaining, upgrading and modifying the hardware/software as required and does not allow any other companies to provide support on their equipment. This acquisition is being sole sourced because Global Imaging is the manufacture of the Advanced Front End Processors and the Monterey station equipment required to support the devices within the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 334111, 1 million business size. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered by NOAA. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing, and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the foregoing requirements. Responses must also be accompanied by descriptive literature, warranties, and/or other information that demonstrates that the quote meets all of the foregoing requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to anthony.webb@noaa.gov by July 22, 2013, 11:00 a.m. local time. Award will be made using FAR 13, Simplified acquisition procedures, current through FAC 2005-68. The determination to compete or not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
