- Description
- The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency(NGA), formerly the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, intends to extend the period of performance of the existing Computer to Plate (CTP) three year maintenance support contract, NMA100-01-C-0002, with Blanchard Systems Incorporated (BSI), New Orleans, LA, pursuant to authority under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). A base period of six months, plus options for up to an additional six months is planned. CTP is a critical NGA system that provides Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based capabilities to scan and archive the reproduction material (repromat) used to support NGA printing operations and to process the digital repromat to create printing plates. CTP is a film-less or non-photographic pre-press production process that eliminates the traditional pre-press task of manual negative engraving and photo lab work. CTP provides the digital repromat to other NGA production systems, military commands, and foreign co-producers. At a high level, the CTP performs the following functions: scanning, digital image assembly, color proofing, and image setting, in addition to the support functions of file archiving and production management. Currently, CTP is transitioning server and archive functions to the Gateway Data Center. This transition involves physically removing the Server and transferring 15 Terabytes of data. Any critical malfunction could render the production system unusable, and destroy the information archive. The extended period of performance will guarantee uninterrupted system support and continuity of operations while transitioning server and archive functions. CTP integration and support requires approximately 18 months system-specific experience and a Top Secret/SCI accreditation. ACCORDINGLY, THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Rather, interested parties are encouraged to submit evidence of their qualifications and/or capabilities to the identified point of contact within fifteen (15) calendar days of publication of this announcement. Statements of qualifications and/or capabilities will be used for the purpose of accumulating a database of possible contractors for possible subcontracting opportunities and future procurement. Submit all responses/inquiries in writing to the address or facsimile number stated herein to the attention of Linda O?Neil, Contract Specialist, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), 4600 Sangamore Road, Mail Stop D-88, Bethesda, MD 20816, or by email to oneilm@nga.mil, or by telephone facsimile to (301) 227.1461. Responses must include your business name, point of contact, address, and telephone number with area code. Telephone requests or inquiries will not be accepted.
