- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Capital Acquisition Division, Simplified Acquisition Team intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. using the procedures in FAR Parts 6 and 13. The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) has a requirement to provide NOAA with a Principle Membership in the Open Geospatial Consortium. The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) is a non-profit, international, voluntary consensus standards organization that was formed to coordinate the development of open standards for geospatial and location-based services. OGC works with government organizations, private industry, and academia to create open and extensible software application programming interfaces for geographic information systems (GIS) and other mainstream technologies. This will enable NOAA to influence standards development and implementation in the areas of geospatial technology and geospatial interoperability across Federal, State and Local governments, the private sector, and the academic community. Principal Members have complete authority over the specification release and adoption process through their voting rights in the Planning Committee (PC). It is by PC vote that OGC Specifications are approved and released by the Consortium. PC members participate in planning and management of the Consortium's technology development process, evaluate and provide guidance on market direction and Consortium focus, vote in the Technical Committee, have approval authority for OGC policies and procedures, and vote to elect members of the OGC Board of Directors. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 81390, small business size 6.5M. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. 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 NOAA. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing, and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA 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 Joseph.Feibel@noaa.gov by June 21, 2013, 11:00 a.m. local time. Award will be made using FAR 13, Simplified acquisition procedures, current through FAC 2005-66. The determination to compete or not compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
