CO-OPS provides real-time data to users via a voice application that disseminates real-time data to users in a 24x7 operational environment. CO-OPS requires software modifications to this existing government-owned Vista Voice System as follows: Modify the existing voice applications to speak visibility date; Modify the existing voice applications to read data from XML files; Replace all CO-OPS recorded phrases with the standard Syntellect voice. The Period of Performance is from Date of Award through 6/30/2012. Syntellect Inc. is the only party known to NOAA who can provide the required modification for the Vista Voice System since it is the developer of the Vista voice processing software platform and only provider of the modifications due to the proprietary nature of the technology.

However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered by NCAD. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing, and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NCAD to determine if the party can meet all of the foregoing requirements. Responses must also be accompanied by descriptive literature, warranties, and/or other information that demonstrates that the quote meets all of the foregoing requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to Sandra.K.Souders@noaa.gov by July 22, 2011 at 11:00 am local time. Award will be made using FAR 13, Simplified acquisition procedures, current through FAC 2005-53.
