- Description
- The National Library of Medicine (NLM) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Insuractive Inc., 1630 Duke Street, 3rd Floor, Alexander, VA 22314 in accordance with FAR 13.1061(b)(1) for a continuation of existing services. The contractor shall perform the following tasks: Task 1 Develop Ideas for Information Visualization; Task 2 Storyboard scenario and prototype user interface; Task 3 Consulting Services for Information Visualization. The government shall provide the contractor access to relevant SIS information and staff. The contractor shall provide consulting services as needed related to the implementation of the SIS Information Visualization plan and other tasks and projects associated with SIS responsibilities with respect to visualization. The contractor shall implement Tasks 1-3 during the period of performance. The contractor shall meet with selected members of the SIS on an as needed basis. The contractor shall attend meetings held at the NLM site. All resulting software, reports, and artwork will become property of the government. The Division of Specialized Information Services at the National Library of Medicine requires the expertise of Ms. Mary Higgins, a graphic and computer artist and web designer/developer to develop artwork and graphic web design/development and to provide related consulting services. Ms. Higgins has been in the computer graphics and development field since 1992. She has an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts from The Corcoran School of Art and received a Masters Degree in Visual Information Technologies from George Mason University. At George Mason University she gained experience in storyboarding, concept development and computer animation. She followed that up with two years of high-end computer animation development in the video production field. She is the Art Director/Designer for Insuractive Inc., and has been working with Internet development and design since 1995/96. In addition she is currently adjunct faculty for George Mason University where she has taught Multimedia Design since spring of 1999. Ms. Higgins is the art director/designer and consultant designer for the web presence of Colonial Williamsburg. She is currently serving on two projects for Williamsburg: an Electronic Field Trip and an overhaul of the functionality and design of the interior the website. The design objective for Williamsburg is to create an interface that invokes a feeling of the history of the 18th century while creating a functional and dynamic site. The Electronic Field Trip for Colonial Williamsburg is a multimedia site that tells the story of an 18th century farmer and the relationship of the farmer to his community. This application is similar in concept to the web presence that meets the NLM requirement. Ms Higgins has been working on the NLM/SIS project for approximately one year. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, the Government will consider all quotations received 15 days from the date of publication. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The anticipated award date of the purchase order is May 22, 2002.
