Description

The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Administrative Support Center intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the Rutgers University, Dept. of Geography, Piscataway, NJ for services to provide regular and improved updates to the snow cover extent and snow depth products for use in climate monitoring products as required by the National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, NC. The type of observations used in data set production include NOAA Northern Hemisphere Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (IMS) snow extent product; microwave snow maps of snow extent and depth are to be derived from a multispectral analysis of satellite data employing frequency gradients; station snow depth observations from U. S., Canadian, and when and where possible to obtain, from Eurasian and some Southern Hemisphere nations. The geographic area to be covered includes the Northern and Southern Hemisphere continents. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source. Procurement by less than full and open competition is necessary because of the unique capability of Rutgers University and its expertise regarding snow cover measurements to produce snow cover maps. The applicable NAICS is 541720. Note 22 applies.
