- Description
- In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS), Section 3.2.2.4 the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the FAA's intent to order a data reception and analysis system directly from a selected single source, SeaSpace Corporation of Poway, CA. The FAA's Weather Processor Team (AJP-B300) is tasked with the implementation of a Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Weather Evaluation Capability (NWEC) laboratory that is capable of prototyping and evaluating environment for NextGen Weather Programs and Products. This necessitates direct accessibility of weather satellite data from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) East and West. The FAA worked in conjunction with Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT/Lincoln Laboratories to accomplish these weather initiatives and the next step in the process is to install a mirror image of the weather lab that exists at MIT/Lincoln Laboratories at the William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC). SeaSpace Corporation equipment is in use at the MIT/Lincoln Lab and installation of the identical equipment at the WJHTC lab appears to be the only cost-effective, technical solution that will yield the desired results. Technical Requirements: The primary functionality required in the system is One of the first activities to be accomplished in the lab is the transfer and implementation of a prototype convective weather forecast capability from MIT/Lincoln Lab to WJHTC. To the maximum extent possible, the system performance must mirror and work in a unified manner with the capability at MIT/Lincoln Lab; This software was developed by MIT/Lincoln Lab for the FAA and contains GOES East & West interface designed specifically for the use with proprietary SeaSpace's interfaces and utilities. The only known source for the required interface capabilities is SeaSpace Corporation, which possesses the proprietary software. Unless another company already possesses this interface capability, the software would require significant modifications. In addition to providing and installing the equipment, the contractor will be required to conduct a site survey, provide system training and technical support. All products and services must be acquired from the same source. A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. If you do not agree with this single source determination, please provide evidence of your firm's capability and experience in providing a system that meets the FAA's requirements. All responses to this announcement must be directed to Phyliss Schlegel, Contracting Officer, and received by 2 p.m., local time, September 11, 2009. Responses must be sent to: FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center; Acquisition & Grants Team (AJA-4730); Attn: Phyliss Schlegel; Atlantic City International Airport, NJ 08405.
