- Description
- Concerns having the ability to design and implement the Central Data Exchange Network Node and National Hydrography Dataset Data Flow Participating in the EPA National Environmental Information Exchange Network for NHD Data Flow Between Minnesota Land Management Information Center and the USGS as described herein are requested to give verbal and written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 10 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. When making contact please request acknowledgement of receipt when e-mailing Sandra Lintz at slintz@usgs.gov. If no acknowledgement is received within 24 hours Monday through Friday, please resend your information and call Sandra at (303)236-9560 to confirm receipt of your information. The U.S. Geological Survey, National Geospatial Technical Operating Center (NGTOC) in Denver, CO, has a requirement for an exchange network node solution and an operational NHD (National Hydrography Dataset) data flow between itself and the Minnesota Land Management Information Center (LMIC). The scope of the project is to implement an exchange network node that provides bidirectional flow of NHD dat. The specifics of how the inbound and outbound flows of NHD data occur must be finalized as part of the flow design. The Exchange Network Node participates in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Environmental Information Exchange Network. The data exchange between the Minnesota state organizations and the USGS NHD national dataset repository must utilize the EPA's data exchange network. The node must be established within the USGS environment prior to any deployment of a data flow. Windsor Solutions developed and implemented the node currently used by the Minnesota Land Management Information Center and is familiar with Minnesota's exchange node implementation and the NHD File Configuration Document (FCD) as well as common applications and tools. The development and implementation must be completed by June 1, 2008. A contractor must have experience in designing and implementing software as described herein. Based on the information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (2), implemented by FAR 6.302-2, the Government considers the software items specified as a sole source from Windsor Solutions, Inc., Lake Oswego, Oregon and proposes to negotiate a contract with that firm. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required item/services or its functional equivalent (based upon the criteria specified herein) are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement. An affirmative response would include literature, brochures and such other materials, which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, request for such document without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice to the procurement. See Numbered Note 22.
