- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, Eastern Acquisition Division (EAD), and the NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Climate Program Office (CPO) have a requirement for a 5-minute video to communicate in a public-friendly manner the climate science, data, and information products that the agency provides to the public, policy leaders, and stakeholder communities. Specifically, the video should focus on the ways in which NOAA's science, data and information products are used to help scientists and the public understand the causes and effects of extreme event-caused by weather, climate, and environment-and ways in which the agency's expertise and resources can be used to help communities prepare for natural disasters so that they are less vulnerable and more resilient. The video is being produced to be featured in the January 2013 annual conference of the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) in Washington, D.C. The theme for that conference is "Disasters and Environment: Science, Preparedness & Resilience." All assets for this video shall be video recorded, produced, and formatted in high-definition, and delivered to NOAA CPO in a publication-ready format prior to December 31, 2012. The contractor, WebsEdge Ltd. is being selected as a sole source contractor due to their unique contract status with NCSE. WebsEdge has sole and exclusive rights to produce and transmit video content at the NCSE conference and so it is the only contractor authorized to produce and display a NOAA video in this event. The contractor will collect video footage for production, and deliver to CPO a 5-minute feature video. The work will include two days of filming with the film crew on up to two separate locations to capture the required interviews, visuals, comments, testimonial and case study material, plus 1or 2 additional interviews at WebsEdge Ltd.'s Washington, D.C. production office. All video will be shot in Full High Definition format. NOAA CPO will retain the rights to all assets produced and delivered by WebsEdge Ltd. so that the CPO has unlimited ability to repurpose, repackage, and republish any or all of these materials. The intended procurement is for services for which the Government intends to acquire under the guidelines of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions Procedures. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one known source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). However, all proposals received by 3:00 PM Tuesday, November 27, 2012 will be considered by the Government. This is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available at this time. The Government reserves the right to solicit bids based on the receipt of affirmative responses to this notice or issue an order to WebsEdge Ltd., whichever is determined to be more advantageous to the Government without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to be considered, firms must furnish detailed information concerning their capability to provide this type of service. Such information shall include at a minimum: name, telephone numbers of firms to whom this service or similar service have been previously provided. Interested firms may identify their interest and capability by sending an email message referencing the Requisition No. NRMT00001300235 to karen.l.christian@noaa.gov. Failure to provide the required information will deem your request non-responsive. The Government reserves the right to solicit bids based on receipt of affirmative responses to this notice. The NAICS code for this action is 512110. Responses may be sent to email address karen.l.christian@noaa.gov or fax to 757-664-3622 ATTN: Karen Christian. All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered by the Agency. All contractors doing business with the Government must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). Contractors previously registered must be active in the SAM. The SAM is a Federal Government owned and operated free web site that consolidates the capabilities in Central Contractor's Registry (CCR), Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), Fed Regulations, and Excluded Parties List System (EPLS). For more information and to register, please access the following website: http://www.sam.gov/. In order to register with the SAM, offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet number. A Dun & Bradstreet number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun & Bradstreet on-line at http://www.dnb.com/product/eupdate/requestOptions.html or by phone at (800) 333-0505.
