- Description
- On a SOLE-SOURCE basis, the Bureau of Transportation Research (BTS), within the Research and Special Programs Administration (RITA), within the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), plans to issue a SOLE-SOURCE contract or delivery order to Tele Atlas North America, Inc. (hereinafter “TANA”), to pay for an annual renewal of RITA’s lease, from TANA, of street network geospatial data and technical support for such data. That lease covers technical support and semi-annual deliveries of the network geospatial data, which is part of the RITA / BTS Enterprise Architecture. The estimated cost of the subject lease-renewal is $120,000. RITA / BTS already has systems and applications based on the TANA data and continues to develop geospatial applications using the TANA data. TANA is the sole manufacturer of its network geospatial data, and is the sole provider of technical support for such data. DOT therefore believes that TANA is the only available source for the needed data and services. HOWEVER, any company or organization other than TANA, which believes that it is capable of providing such data and services to RITA / BTS at the high level of quality and efficiency that is indispensable to RITA / BTS, may e-mail, to Mr. James Mowery, a Statement of Qualifications, which must be received by Mr. Mowery at james.mowery@dot.gov not later than 4:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time June 29, 2009. HOWEVER, any company or organization that is contemplating the submission of such a Statement of Qualifications should bear in mind that the company or organization would not ultimately be able to defeat NANA in a competitive procurement for the needed network geospatial data and technical support services without later proving (in a full-blown proposal) that the company or organization is the best buy for RITA / BTS, taking into consideration not only technical factors and quality factors but also pricing factors and past performance factors.
